To Annie.

We have always called you Annie-
Tho you wandered far away,
From the little hidden pathway
Where the joys of childhood stay,
Gone so quickly, down the pathway,
LEFT US….while the vision stays,
Of a Little Girl, name ANNIE-
That I knew in other days.

Gone so quickly, down the pathway-
Left me out here, all alone,
In the quiet of the eveing-
As I drive the cattle home;
In the twilight, starlight, firelight,
Where the flickering shadows roam.
