A RESTLESS SKY
One gray day
Caring and Kindness
Came down from a cold
and dark restless sky
way beyond the clouds on high
just a soft, quiet
and gentle breeze
that restless Autumn's dawn
just before winter's
first cold freeze
they crossed the globe
in silence
over both sea and land
together they sealed the fate
of both contemporary woman
and modern man
Although with spoken word
and pretty RHYMING poem
they said over and over again
that Caring and Kindness
would never go there
to find a home
but they were all wrong
for Caring and Kindness
did stop there to stay
on that restless
cold and dark
windswept morning
and yes -- on that very day
then one very young ANGEL
with total innocence
but in a quiet and shy way
and most of all softly
spoke to the voices from above
on that cold dark AUTUMN's morning
and on that cold dark day
"Hey -- that place --"
founded or based on love
Why not call it "SUGARTOWN"?
like in that old NANCY SINATRA song
that stuff that comes down
sometimes from above
they said it was a big hit
even way back there in the past
when love was in style and faith
were not just things that were
forgotten -- back when happiness
was often cast
Didn't it go something like this ?
Yesterday it rained
in TALLAHASSEE
I heard it also rained
in TENNESSEEE
but not a drop fell on
little old me
'cause I was in --- SH SH SH
SH SH SH -- SH SH SH SH SH SH SH
"SUGARTOWN"
and right then and there
on that dark, cold and gray
windswept morning on that Autumn's
day -- they all agreed --
that it really was OK
All those kind hearts -- way way --
out there -- way beyond the
brightest stars -- even way past --
both JUPITER AND MARS -- they were
heard to say and yes on that cold,
dark AUTUMN morning -- that cold,
dark AUTUMN day
they all agreed to name,
that place or even just a
small rural village -- or let's
say whatever it was --
"SUGARTOWN"
after NANCY SINATRA'S song
one of her big hits of the 70's
back there in the past -- when even
faith and hope were in style
and kindness was FOREVER cast
Hey -- this plan could
never go wrong
they even put it in a song
about a place founded or based
on love -- and not really
too far away
but somewhere kind of close
and near and always with
lot's of friendship
and very little
along the lines of
of doubt and fear
that small farming town
they later
dubbed or called
simply
"SUGARTOWN"
