Today I found a picture while surfing on the net,
That took me back so many years, the number I'll forget.
A young girl poised in sunlight with basket stands at rest,
And gazes past the chickens that are gathered round their nests.
I wonder if she's dreaming of the future where she stands.
Will she find a better ending? Give her heart to some dear man?
Will she leave the farm and family and live long miles away?
Do those dreams that she alone can see cause her to look that way?
Today I saw myself upon the screen as years slid back.
A country girl with hopes and dreams, the heart inside me cracked.
I left my home and loved ones and I know that's how it's done.
We all grow up and make our paths when childhood's race is run.
But even as I sit here with a tear upon my cheek,
I long to live just one more day as that country girl so meek.
Life has a way of giving us the very things we dream.
Too bad we don't yet understand things aren't what they seem.
Today I found a picture while surfing on the net.
It makes me proud to know that I've no reason to regret.
I journeyed to my home today, that "long ago", "back when".
And I'm more thankful for it now than I was way back then.
