Poem
One day I was passing time And wrote these words upon the lines, I know not where they came you see The Winds of Time were there for me. If I could open a door to the past And there before me were the paths I'm not quite sure which I would choose But The Winds of Time would see me through. The vastness there before God's Hand Then came the heavens, the seas, the land Eden, Noah and the Christ Child's birth Is the path that I see first. I'm not into Knights or dragon days, Nor Robin Hood and his saving ways, But give me a Viking as he crosses the seas And I'll dream of the lands so wild and free. The music of Irland calls to me, Where Kathleen's heart has ever been, And for Danny Boy the fifes do call I'll shed my tears lest he should fall. As Immigrants touched upon our shores The Indians prepared to fight once more, But fate stepped in and eased the sore They'd live in peace forever more. The battles fought upon this land To protect us from Tierney's hand, The Civil War for Freedom's right The Alamo where comrades died. At Little Big Horn where our soldiers died, As Indians defend their homes with pride, The government later took a hand And put them on Reservation land. I remember well, when I was quite young The days of World War II And how my father's life did change When the family business he assumed. Twenty-four seven was unheard of then, But that was their working day, They helped keep our nations trucks on the road Their battlefield was here in the USA. I'll choose the path with pastures green, Horses, cattle and the cowboy scene, This is the land of my mother's birth The most precious land to me on earth. I chose this land and took a stand, Married a cowboy and we ranched the land. Though now retired and family gone This land will always be our home. The Winds of Time, know well my soul I'll rest at night with days of yore. And as I wake a prayer I'll say Please God, may we have Peace today? Cile Beer
