Strong Bonds Muddy river, crystal clear, and sometimes green as grass. Grains of sand, hot on the pan, Gifts of pine?, smell all you can…! Cowboys, Indians, artists and rodeo, powwows. Towns gone, now ghostly kept… Mines, claim jumpers, stagecoaches and poker players, School teachers, and the right to vote? Mountain men… Too many people, and broken treaties. Ever paving the way toward the future… of a highway. Scoundrels and sheriffs, preachers and train trackers, carpetbaggers, and mayors… purveyors of law, yet without order. History remembers…, Don’t let them forget. Pioneers, robbers, and slaves, built OUR country… Heroes of a past, we need more today, than ever before. Stand up men that put their life on the line. Western hearts, that carried through time. Horse and saddle, bronc and buster, ride again into the sun! “In God We Trust”

wow, what a great tribute to the heroes who shaped greatness for our country. Isn't it strange how many of those who came here first were criminal types? GREAT work, Ann. I have to see if I have added you yet to my poets to follow!

Thank you. You are so very sweet. I want to hug you and send you angel cakes, made with honey for tea time. :) Yes, I do believe that we can never say enough about those that serve ALL of us and RISK everything! God Bless them. Ann
