The Cowboy Painting

I sit upon the sun-room wall The man I was painted for has gone Parted this life, now is pain free Left 4 daughters who miss him so His love for cowboys was well known In charity shops the shelves would scour For books and movies to be shown Would watch and watch by the hour His second love was Bruce Lee Those movies he loved to see Then there was rugby at the ref did shout From his chair because he couldn’t go out But so proud to be Welsh On St David’s day would wear his Daffodil with pride and sing Cym Rhondda for all to hear Now my 2 pictures look down and see An old dog looking up at me Am sure I saw the old dog wink Nah it couldn’t, could it be he? The Avatar is one of the above mentioned painting I painted
