Missing Texas
by Joanna B. Barnett
Another summer has come and gone
Still in Maine, don't know how long
Winter is now approaching fast
Stuck inside, oh what a blast!
Two screaming kids with no place to go
How long can I take this? I don't know
Longing for Texas I'll always be
The sun, the warmth, the smell of the sea
Some don't understand my cries
Yearning to return to my family ties
The beach, the lakes, the bright blue skies
You don't see Texas? Look into my eyes
