Forest Rain - Family Ways

Walk outside the house before the sun is up
The ponies in town are sleeping but the Apples are not
It's the beginning of another day
Can't spend another minute on the hay

Grab something to eat then feed the pigs in their pen
The noise they make keeps me company when
I watch the moon make way in the sky
For the elder princess' celestial charge

The freshness of the morning air remains with me
As I walk back to the orchard where todays work awaits
Among the apple trees

Bucking the days away with a smile upon my face
Keeping alive the family ways

While big brother works the fields with the old plow
Little sis and I help granny bake and I'm thinking about
Racing through the whitetail woods last fall
A blur of rainbow colors clouding it all

Walk into town to meet my friends
We're having a party at the corner again
And I wouldn't miss it for the world, no
It's always magical when I'm with the girls

The beautiful and tranquil night
Descends upon me as I head back home
And I just can't hold back a smile
Not when I feel so fine

Bucking the days away with a smile upon my face
Keeping alive the family ways
