Remembering Man From Snowy River
The sound of those horse hoofs in surround sound, I have never forgotten.
Or the twins, who were not speaking – Harrison living in high cotton.
Spur, striking gold, and giving Jim’s dad’s share to him.
Man from Snowy River has so much romance and vim!
Jim Craig at eighteen, falling completely in love with Jessica, of course.
Helping her break her prize colt, a persnickety, proud, determined horse.
Twin brothers falling in love with one woman, a romantic back story.
Jim chasing the Brumby mob down a steep hill, not seeking big glory.
I found myself rooting for Spur, glad when he found the gold.
Naturally, the love story part of this western will never get old.
This is such a lovely tale, a die and go to heaven story of its day.
I cannot help thinking of all the characters in a loving way.
