Johnny Cash, a Southern Gentleman

by Tyr-Ziu Saxnot » Sat Mar 26, 2011 12:46 am Johnny Cash, a Southern Gentleman I knew Johnny Cash but never got to shake his hand A hero, myth and a legend to so many that adored him To me he was just a country boy , fine Southern gentleman Entertaining , caring and unselfishly giving his best to them He wrote and performed music of the simple freedom and country ways Lyrics so heartfelt that tears naturally fell gloriously from the skies Of love , life , danger, death and redemption that brings greater days Seeking the answers to the questions of the how, where, when and whys Gifting us all with his spirit and his love of helping those in need Joyfully playing his music while dividing up his soul to share Offering up his amazing life complete with it's heart to bleed His love of life and concern for others never yielding there His music taking second place only to his beautiful soul Those crazy, wild and daringly foolish younger escapades Only served to endear him to us while making his legend grow May his memory live longer than the stars that heaven made..... -Tyr , AKA Robert L.
