Something unknown to some

My Tennessee Darling                                                                              m.mcvicker 2008

I met the man
some many years ago.,
in the New York bus station terminal.
He said to me, I need some change, can you help me out?
I said, “Well stranger, I’m a bit strapped it seems, but it looks like I can do this for you.â€
Then he told me, as he was leavin’,  that he would be right back.
I said , Sure, I’ll be seein’ ya then.â€
and as I stayed there and was watchin’, the people comin’ an’ goin’
I thought at least , I may have entertained an Angel, unknown.

But then, he showed up
with a bottle..
and two Styrofoam cups
and we sat in the hall ways
drank the cheap rosy wine that he bought.
Then he told me that  he wrote it…
I said , sure, there was no way
He laughed and he said ,:“you just watch thisâ€

When the bottle was finished…. he poked me in the ribs
and glided  up to; two lovely women walking by
He started the tune;
walked beside them and crooned
I believed every word that he sang
by the time he was thru they were looking at the moon
and the tune,… carried them all along their way.

This  is true; and I say this , to you:

So I say, Angels unknown
the things we are shown
If we just take time to see
But I want you to know
The things you show, to me,
and you feel alone?
We will waltz, the Tennessee…

I was dancing with my Darling ; 
When a stranger she happen to see……….
