ARIZONA SUN

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
