Best Dedicationnight Poems
Born in 1921, somewhere in Wyoming, born to ride wild stock
Started at sixteen, hung up his spurs at 53
Thirty Seven years of riding broncs and bulls
Made his home aboard outlawed livestock
Riding with broken bones and paying his fees
Night after night, on them old bone breaking bulls
December 1, 1967, was Freckle's biggest night of all
National Finals Rodeo, Oklahoma City, on a bull, Tornado
No ordinary bull, no ordinary cowboy
The two were the best in the world, who would take the fall
The test between Freckles and Tornado
Who would win, beast or cowboy
Tornado, 1850 pound Braford stick of dynamite
Never had been rode in 220 times bucked out
He was out of World Champion Jim Shoulder's bucking string
Brown was forty seven at the time, was in the spot light
Had a broken neck the year before, he had little doubt
He wanted the eight second bell to ring
A full house that night, waiting for the cream of the crop
Then the explosion out of Chute # 2, Tornado came out high and wide
Into a spin and wrapped it up tight, trying to loose his load
Freckles riding the horrible hurricane, was still on top
One of Rodeo's most famous bull ride
Tornado knew that he had been rode
Spurs dug into the rope, toes turned out, free hand in the air
Victory was his at the eight second bell, life was never so sweet
Freckles rode the baddest of them all
That night Tornado never really had a prayer
The King of Rodeo rode him to defeat
Freckles Brown was to rodeo as Babe Ruth was to baseball
You are a new star in my night sky I can only imagine how many miles away you are.
You alone shine so bright the only star I wish upon.
You stand out amongst the others, my one true love who I seek each night.
Before I go to bed and lay my head upon my pillow, I look for you my star, as I say
my good night prayers, I count my blessings in my life.
All so many blessings to count one by one so I start with my favorites. As I look to
the sky and look for you and say good night and I look forward to a new day so I can
see You in the night sky.
Every night you throw punches,
every night you don't let us sleep.
Wheres the love you had for her?
Wheres the compassion you should have showed?
When you said I do did than mean I will hit you?
When you first hit her, did you realize it?
Dad I can't stand to see mom cry.
Mom I can't stand it when you let him torture you.
It's killing the family and making us cry.
Dad your going to kill her.
Mom your gonna die!!!
It's horrible to hear the screams every night!
It's depressing to see you bruised up mom.
One morning you'll never wake up.
One day we're going to loose you,
both you and dad.
You always said not to let a man touch us,
does that apply to you too?
It's the next day you don't leave the room mom.
You don't get up, I don't think you can.
Why are they putting that blanket over you?
Why are they taking dad away?
Mom!! Wake up!!
Where'd my sister go?
Where are we going?
Who are those people? Why are we here?
Where's the love you had?
Where's the love you had for us?
Where's the love you had for each other?
To all those women who let a man boss them around like wothless trash.
You deserve better. =)
