dirt

There's new song out that makes me think of you every time I hear it... fittingly it's called "dirt".  It seems that since we moved here, since you worked on your first tractor, since you worked at "the farm" well you were always covered with some sort of dirt, grime or raspberries.  Shoes tracking in dirt and mud... even the pink tinge to everything that year you worked on your tractor.

You get your hands in it

Plant your roots in it

Dusty head lights dance with your boots in it (dirt)

You write her name on it

Spin your tires on it

Build your corn field, whiskey

Bonfires on it (dirt)

You bet your life on it 

You've mixed some sweat with it

Taken a shovel to it

You've stuck some crosses and some painted

Goal posts through it (dirt)

You know you came from it (dirt)

And some day you'll return to it

Love you more,Mom
edit - not sure why this didn't post last week... I guess you get a "twofer" this sunday.
