| My Invisible Friend…Wind I feel your kiss Upon my cheek As you ruffle up my hair I sense your breath Hot on my back I turn but no one’s there You dance briskly with the trees And whistle from time to time I listen as you play music On my front porch chimes I’ve seen the damage you can do In the wake of a storm I’ve felt your bite deep in my skin On a cold & wintry morn Many times I’ve cursed you For throwing dust in my eyes And many times I’ve thanked you With a cheerful sigh I walk with you most every day And miss when you’re not there… Kissing softly on my cheek And ruffling up my hair Dancing on Clouds All About The Author
Born in East Texas A small-town girl With big aspirations To see the world Average student in school This girl was not shy For she was a majorette In Grand Saline High Just out of school Diploma in hand She applied to the airlines Wanted to see this great land Rules were strict those days… Five-foot two inches tall So this young lady was just 1/4” too small She chose another path Down life’s ominous trail… She enrolled in college And there met her male Four years later After their courting wooes They walked down the aisle And said their “I Do’s” Anita Lynn Savage Was now Mrs. Ferguson And a new stage in life Had just begun Her dreams to travel Had now come true For her husband was a pilot And away they flew From Dallas to Las Vegas, California & back Her desire for adventure She now did not lack She gave birth To two incredible boys And amongst the diapers, playpens, & toys There were books & plotters, maps & more… Scattered here & there All over the floor! She read, studied, Took classes & flew… And on Friday the 13th, She made her “solo” debut With pilot’s license now secure in hand Her dreams had all come true In this great land Her husband decided to take a chance… So they packed up their belongings And moved to France Communication with the citizens Was really quite a pain… Until she enrolled In the Institute De Touraine There she made many friends From all o’er the world Not too bad for a small town girl From France back to Dallas Then off to Costa Rica… Where she learned to speak Spanish Like a genuine “Tica” As life sometimes happens… Her marriage broke apart But she picked up the pieces… Actually did something quite smart… She started dancing, got a job Met the love of her life… And of Feb. 24th She became his wife Poetry is just a hobby She took up to ease the pain Express her happiness Sometimes even keep her sane
