My Loving Wife and Companion, Lois

She was my Lady of the night

She always told me I was bright

And loved me all throughout the night

 

Her love songs were so soft and bright

I know she always loved the night

When the moon was shining like glowing light

My wife was bright like a full moons rays in the middle of the night

 

My Wife’s smile was always bright

During the light of day through the moon lit night

Her kiss was soft like sunshine in the early morning light

 

I will think of her every day as long as I live because I loved her with all my heart and soul.

Wendell & Lois Glisson Forever.

Orange Blossom Special

I love the song Orange Blossom Special. When I was a young boy listing to the radio at home and the song Orange Blossom Special came on the air you could always hear my Mom singing in the background. Hearing the song so many times, it stayed planted in the mind.  So the story goes like this.

When riding my bike and a train would come by I would look at the train hoping to see the sign on the side of it. But it would always be just another old locomotive riding the tracks. As the train roared by I would be singing some of the lyrics of the song and whistling the tune.  Look a Yonder coming, coming down that railroad track…. It’s the Orange Blossom Special bringing my baby back!

Living in Orlando FL., I was sure I would get to see it someday so I kept on looking. When I was in down town Orlando on Church Street going to the Rialto Theater to see a movie I would sometimes hear the whistle of a train blowing and that would get me excited. The tracks were only a half block away I would hurry over to the tracks so I could get a closer look, always hoping this was it. You could hear the rumbling of the train getting closer and closer, I was getting so excited! But when the train stopped at the train station, I looked hard for a sign saying the Orange Blossom Special but I did not see one.  I would always be so disappointed! During those many years I lived in Orlando FL.,  some of the areas I would look for the Orange Blossom Special were: Kaley Ave, Holden Ave, Gore Street, Church Street, Colonial Drive, Princeton St. and lots of others.

Living in, Orlando FL. From Nineteen Forty to Nineteen Ninety Seven, I never got to see the train they called the Orange Blossom Special.

Maybe if I called the “Ghost Riders of the Sky” on the phone they could find it for me!
