Feeling The Feeling

.

What makes you feel good and have a very happy day,
It’s different in everyone of us, that’s all I can say.
This poem describes several of my good happy times
When I was really ‘feeling the feeling’ in my lifetime.

Feeling The Feeling

 

.

What does ‘feeling the feeling’ mean, some of you may ask.
It is something different to each of us as we go through life’s tasks.
So the only thing that is left here for Hawg Jaw Bill to do.
Is to explain what feeling the feeling means to me, to you.

That time I got lost in Woolworths for five minutes at age four,
I was ‘feeling the feeling’ when my Mom found me on the floor.
It got much better when she hugged me and held me real close.
I felt so very good that deep down inside, I loved her the most.

 

.

The time I rode my bicycle by myself all the way down the street,
I was ‘feeling the feeling’ as I was so very happy there on the seat.
My pride was showing through and I think I really did shine,
As it seemed like I was really growing up in a very short time.

 

.

When I got the first black hair under my arm in the pit,
I was ‘feeling the feeling’ and I was just so very proud of it
Could it be I was finally becoming a mature young man,
This was almost more internal joy than I could withstand.

 

.

When my Dad bought me my first old ugly automobile,
I was ‘feeling the feeling’ because, man this was a good deal.
The thought of driving by myself made me happy as can be.
I felt pride of ownership with lots of responsibility just for me.

 

.

When I graduated high school with that cap and that gown,
I was ‘feeling the feeling’ as I walked up on that stage then down.
I threw my cap high in the air and inside I had a natural high.
I would soon be out on my own and ready to give the world a try.

 

.

That time I looked around and I found my own summer job,
I was ‘feeling the feeling’ and that, no one from me could rob.
I was so happy and proud and I knew I would do just fine.
They told me when I left, a better hand they could not find.

 

.

I graduated Texas Tech college on the Deans Honor Role
With a degree in Mechanical Engineering on a rolled up scroll.
I was ‘feeling the feeling’ when I happily took that long stroll.
And even happier when I started making that big dough.

 

.

When I married my wife Pam, I was both nervous and glad.
She walked down the aisle and she stumbled just a tad.
As we said our vows and I kissed my beautiful new bride.
We were both ‘feeling the feeling’ standing there side by side.

 

.

I was ‘feeling the feeling’ when my daughters came into this world.
How could such a great feeling come from two tiny little girls.
There were many more fine feelings as we raised them into ladies.
And again when they married and had their own two fine babies.
