This Crazy Life

This Crazy Life...

It's been a long week,
exhausting and never ending.
The clock on the wall spins so slow, like it's not even spinning.

You can hear every single tick of every second, every minute.
watching the door for a relief,
just hoping they'll come in it...

Shift work ain't a song it's a job, ....it's our life.
The hours and memories we lose from our children.... our wife.

It puts food on the table, a roof over our head,
and clothes on our back.. very true.
A life that people see only from afar,
never knowing what you and your family go through.

I'm not trying to complain because it's selfish you could say.
There are people who would give anything to live this way..

I thank God daily for my blessings, my job being one,
We lose so much time away from all the ones we love.

Your friends are headed to the lake, you're headed off to work.

They're at home in bed all night,
You're wide awake,
feeling like a jerk.
Sleeping all day and working all night,
Waking up feeling moody, everybody just wants to fight.

Your life is like a roller coaster,
it never seems to slow down or sit still.
Some are filled with anger and pain,
Some seek help from a pill..

It's not easy for anyone trying to make ends meet,
Life is so expensive it gets  tough,
but we work so we can eat.

This life we live is not a life for very many folk...

It gets stressful and exhausting and
when life hands you lemons, you make lemonade or
....  go broke..

The Fever

The Fever
The smell of fall and the sound of leaves falling from the trees.

All of the colors, the sounds, the cool crisp breeze.. blowing.
Nature coming to life as everything moves with ease.

The warmth of the sun on your neck, patiently waiting for the next buck to wander through ... never knowing..

Time is of the essence when you're sitting in the stand, it's just you, God, and nature, awaiting for even just a sight.

To just get a peek at the prince of the forest, makes your blood flow, your heart pound, keeps you up thinking all night..

Through trial and error you make your final stalk on this majestic whitetail, setting up as close as you can for an encounter... for the kill..

The harvest, the bounty, the trophy rack spotted in the distance, the time, the hard work, patiently waiting for the moment to be seized,...then there he is.. the chance.. one false move....
the adrenaline....

the frightened white flag of his tail..

another season spent searching for "The One"...

Turns into another year of busting does because again buck fever won....
