ARIZONA SUN
As I look out yonder at that Arizona sun
A time of happiness flashes back in my mind
Camping, fishing, swimming and CAMP
With some of the best cousins you'll find
I grew up in the pines, a smell I will never forget
The wind blowing through those majestic trees
A time spent with grandparents, family and friends
Some of the most beautiful of Gods Country you will ever see
I was taught by them to respect the land
To only take whatever you need
The memories made in that beautiful place
Makes that land more special to me
When grandma took us down to Willow Creek
Where the water was so fresh and clear
Or when we loaded up the truck for a picnic
And we would see a large group of deer
The sound of the screen door slamming
When Granddad walked through the door
I swear every time he kissed my grandma
She fell in love with him even more
The smells that came through that kitchen
Our bellies never empty or wanting more
She would feed everyone that walked in that house
You never left hungry when you walked out that door
That big ole bath tub with the four claw feet
I loved when it was time to get in and play
We got a good scrub down from our head to our toes
The remnants washed off from another fun day
The Juicy Fruit gum and cinnamon discs always in the cupboard
Or in the pocket of granddads shirt
There was always a sweet treat to be found
When granddad walked in that's what we wanted first
The large back bedroom where we all slept
The stories told, the monsters under the bed
The peaceful feeling of LOVE and HOME
Was something we all shared
Whether you were born first or last, we were all treated the same
The most loving grandparents, sweet and fun
The feeling of HOME every time I go back
To that gorgeous ARIZONA SUN
