A Cowboy Is

A cowboy is what we are not and never will again be what I loved most about his ways he kept in tune with nature for he knew this was his destiny the nature we have now is not the same it is corroded and tossed aside the same can be said with the rules given that we cannot follow nor abide how I wish I could go back in time to live among the gifted lots of hard work no crying in mind the cowboy has been forgotten and shifted contest: A Cowboy Is by: Virginia Frayer

I think many of us would like to go back in time to the days of relative innocence. Hey! Us old folks - I'm 81 - just don't understand what the hell is going on these days. Values seem upside down. Love, Dave

As usual, well written and very descriptive with fine rhyming. As for going back in time and becoming a cowboy, I personally would rather stay where I am. Good write, Virginia.
