Exposure
Over there across yonder sets the prairie
Just beyond that the brook
Each day I grow fonder and fonder and then merry
Then I double took another look and what did I see
A red and speckled gray woodpecker rapping on a tree
I started to say "my heavens"
This all happened so fast
It was about 7 past 11
I didn't even feel the seconds pass
So I take another glance
I look just beyond the tree line
There is snow on the ground but still there is sunshine
My emotions went up and down
I nearly lost my mind
There is a cardinal
Just as red as red can be
In that moment I was in the right place in the world
As if I fulfilled my destiny
Then I stumbled upon a squirrel
He was eating nuts by a tree
He looked at me as to say "hey Mister give it a wirl"
Don't knock it till you see
Then my walk was over
But what I day I had
I nearly died from exposure
But the good kind not the bad
