Color of Water
Matthew Stephen Ward
I was all geared up & ready to go
Bounding for to leave my mountain home with a sky of blue
Between the leaves and the color of the water was green
High over the sea.
"Do you have to leave so soon my boy"
The winter time ain't even begun?
"Well I'd stay awhile" I turned to say.
"But the color of the water is gray and I'm going away"
