A Hymn to Them That Write and Sing Em

As Tennessee Ernie Ford pinned on
my CAF wings on a hot Phoenix tarmac
I had a chance to thank him with this story

A caterwauling baby
with no way to calm her
til we found an ace in a sleeve
and that was his album of hymns

And like a Sweet hour of Prayer
Softly and Tenderly
he rocked her to sleep with Rock of Ages
To say that Tennessee was touched
would not describe his smile and eyes
It was if I'd pinned some wings on him
