My world is wet, the river's up, and more rain's on the way It looks like I might need a boat to get to town today. There's water all around the house; it's drowning our new seeds. A little sun and dryness is what our county needs.
It's risin' o'er the railroad tracks; the cows took to the hills. The chickens flew into the trees, or, are roosting in the mills. It's too deep to run the tractor and to salvage all our hay. And on the radio, I heard, we're gonna get more rain today.
I'm looking out the window; there's water everywhere. The folks in town have called to say they've lodgin's we can share. But, we don't want to leave our home, where our children were all born. Abandonin’ the farm would make the future so forlorn.
T he creek has overrun the fields, devourin’ good top-soil. As I watch the devastation, my blood begins to boil. We've worked so hard to make this place our little paradise. I'll pray tonight: A little sun, and blue skies, would be nice.
A boat went by, just filled with folks that are headed into town. A cat is floatin’ by the house. I hope that it won't drown. My boy just plucked it from the water; it's safe inside with him. Lightning' hit the power lines, and our lights are gettin’ dim.
The young'uns just don't understand what's happenin’ to our place. The look of consternation shows plainly on each face. They just can't comprehend the flood, and the havoc all around. They wonder why they see their friends all heading into town.
Well, it might be time to pull the plug, and leave for town, I guess. I wonder just what we can save, or salvage from this mess. Mother Nature can be cruel, and toy with rain and sun. They say, "No man's an island". But, our farm will soon be one.
But, we might wait to see if we can hang on one more day. It's hard to leave and watch our hopes and dreams just float away. I'm gonna get down on my knees and try our safety net, For forty years, through joy and tears,

afraid to tell
you i love you
out of fear
you didn't feel
the same way about me
but you stop
my heart when
you told me
you love me too
i cannot forget
the first time
you told me
you loved me
those words burn
a hole in my soul
but i know
your love will
fill the hole
in my soul
at first when
you told me
you love me
those words fell
on deaf ears
cause i could
not believe i
would hear someone
say those words again
but when you said
those words they
woke my soul up
when my soul
was awake you
said those words again
that time my soul
heard those words
than my soul
said something i
never thought my
soul will say ever again
but my soul
told me your
love is true
when i feel
your love in
my soul i
know i have
never felt a
love like yours before
now i know
what true love
feels like for
my soul is
telling me your
love is true
when i look
into your eyes
i ask myself
what i have done right
when i have never
done anything right before
when all i do
is make mistakes
when i am not perfect
but i wonder
what i did
to deserve to
have you find me
and to be
love by you
when i first
saw you i
fell in love
with you it
was not what
i saw on
the outside of you
but what i saw
on the inside of you
when i first
look into your
eyes i saw
what your soul holds
i knew in
my soul that
what your soul
holds is true
why is it
when i look
in your eyes
without you saying a word
i know in
my soul that
your love is true
how can this
be when i have
not felt love
like this before
why is your love differt
maybe cause my
soul knows your
love is true
maybe cause your
soul as become
apart of my soul
as my soul
has become apart
of your soul
maybe cause our
souls knows our
love for each
other is true love
i have waited
my life for you
i have search
my life for you
i had prayed
my all of my life
for God to
answer my prayers
and bless me
with you i
had waited eterity
for God to send
me my angel.
now i have
eternity to love you
in my life
i have search
for love
i climb the
hightest mountains
i swim the
deepest waters
i have walked through hell
but i could
not find love
it is like
love ran away from me
some where along
the way i
lost my soul
no matter where
i looked i could
not find love nor my soul
when you came
into my life
i knew why
i could not find love
i knew why
my soul left me
i know my
soul was looking
for the soul
that it belong to
when i looked
into your eyes
i knew why
my soul found
you for you
are the missing piece
to my soul
i knew why
i could not
find love for
my heart belongs
to you but
before i could
not find you
my heart and soul
was waiting for
me to find you
but when i could
not find you
my soul left
and found you
for my soul
knows it belongs to you
i thank God
whjen i gave up on myself
that God didn't
give up on me
i thank God
that he loves
me enough to
bless me with
one of his angels
who through her
love in me
restores my faith
in God and my
faith in myself
who through her
love in me
helps me to believe
in God and in myself again
who through her
love in me
gives me hope
for a better tormorrow
even when torrow
is no better
than today
i know through
the love she
has for me
it will help
me to get through
anything that tomorrow can bring
even when i
am weak and
cannot go on
i know her
love for me
will give me
the strength to
get through it
so i can
spend another day
loving her so
i can spend
another day thanking
God for blessing
me with her
