THE ONLY THINGS
Any road that leads to somewhere
Any thought that comes to mind
Any sight on the horizon
Any friend that’s left behind
Any meal that’s ever eaten
Any quilt that’s ever lined
Any concert that is set thru
Any document that’s signed
Any dishes in the washer
Any clothes out on the line
These are the only times I think of you
Any jacket in the closet
Any hearts that are entwined
Any mail that’s in the mail box
Any restaurant in mind
Any lizard on the door step
Any dust left on the blind
Any cup left in the coaster
Any tea that’s ever limed
Any okra in the freezer
Any shoe that’s ever shined
These are the only times I think of you
Any girl there in the bath tub
Any thought that’s ever mined
Any car that ever passes
Any speeding ever fined
Any taste of something salty
Any pillow so inclined
Any candles on the mantel
Any love that’s left behind
Any footsteps on the doorsteps
Any door bell ever chimed
These are the only times I think of you
Pick up the phone…
Any door that’s ever opened
Any touch of the sublime
Any pictures of a family
Any steps I’ve ever climbed
Any book that tells a story
Any story set to rhyme
Any tree that’s cut for Christmas
Any package wrapped with twine
Any week day, any week end
Any joy that I can find
These are the only times I think of you.

Robert Hayden Like the concept, great job recognizing those unduspected little flash backs 2h2 hours ago Reply Hide Lazarus Knight Great! It's like telling her that there's never a moment when she is not the center of focus.

I think of you very often even when it's not spoken the words are in my mind more than just a token or poem spoken out loud I'm proud to call you a friend who also writes wonderful songs and I often sing along my voice soft or strong always makes me feel real good and I should say it happens every time I think of you. On every guitar string is a note and there's a song at the end of any pencil you might pick up and write down on a piece of paper Any song you write always fuels my imagination and makes me think and that's a wonderful gift you have Jim thanks nice work
