Write 'em in a Poem
In Austria, I'm American
POETRY
In Austria, I am American.
In America, I'm the Austrian.
To my friends, I’m all about Jesus,
But my pastor doesn’t see this.
To the doers, I’m a thinker,
For me, the thinkers don’t quite do.
For the poets, I’m too cowboy,
But I ain’t cowboy through and through.
And in the dark, I’m just a sinner,
While at day, I play the saint.
Through nail on wood forgiven,
Lamb’s blood on me like paint.
The guitar is my companion,
But I won’t sing a stranger’s song.
My thoughts too hard to put in words,
So I just write ‘em in a poem.
