Never batting an eye they'd be there for us everyday
One was out spoken and never left something unsaid
Other kept to himself so you...

Trying Man

...
Getting up after the fall,

Standing again and accepting the call.

Giving it the proverbial 'college try'

Burning the midnight oil and remembering his 'why'…

Standing in the batter's box...

Animals, lyrics

down in Missouri's where he'd spent his young days

His white cowboy hat with the fancy gold band
with fringe on his chaps and kid gloves on his hands...

Why the Long Faces

I Won'T

...I won't settle or let it rest 
     That deep desire that lives in my chest 

I'm not backing down or moving to the side

An Unusual Friendship

...Sleek form of burnished russet fur
nimbly walking our garden wall.
Each night we expect this visitor,
indeed he has become an old friend.
No longer hungry, robust and fit

Brahms Ensembles Me

I hear the stool creak as he sits.
He does not introduce the music,
he expects me to remember it,
know it, eat it.

He lights up a Havana,
clarinet and violi...

To Charge Within

...I put a saddle on the wind
and rode it through the storm

The bridle placed, the buckle cinched,
the reins, my soul reborn

Inside each stirrup passion spurs,
the present close at hand

Edge of a Dime

Need to make haste softly ‘cause of where I’m from.
Draped in gray felt shadow with the brim turned down,
Keep my profile low if I go into town.

When Mounted Police hit a snag
Some maple syrup
Stuck to his stirrup
Voilà Sergeant Preston in drag!...
