SKYE BLUE WATER

SKYE BLUE WATER

Roger A. Davis

There are green pastures and still waters that I find at Hy-Vee
The fairy princess who greets us early-risers is Skye, daily
We get a daughter’s smile that says, “Rise and Shine”
Plus, in that greeting, “Enjoy hot coffee,” and, “I hope breakfast is divine”

Roger, stumbling block fool
Gets extra service because he is a tangled fishing line spool
How Skye puts up is beyond thank yous
For this old man can’t help his abuse

Yet her compassionate hurt eyes calm the raging beast
And a calmness of still waters gives Roger relief
Thank you, Skye, for your kindness – not just to me but to everybody
Patrons, suppliers and employees
