Poem Artwork
-->

Dedicated To William Bonilla,


Inspired By Willie Nelson,


And Written By Willie Armadillo


 


 


 


A long time forgotten


Were my dreams that fell by the way,


But the good life that he promised


Is what I’m a livin today


 


He’s let me stay on here


When others woulda kicked me out,


He’s a real good hearted man


Of this, I don’t have one Armadillo doubt


 


And he never ever complains


Of the bad times, or the bad things I’ve done.


Lord,


He just talks about the good times,


And all the good times to come


 


He’s a real good hearted man


Who was willin to help me out,


He likes me because of my ways


 He’s a real friend, without a doubt


 


He understands my bug eatin life,


My burrow behind the bushes,


And he’s a damned good friend,


When so many others would’ve complained,


William welcomed me back on home again


 


A long time forgotten


Were my dreams that fell by the way,


But the good life that he promised


Is what I’m a livin today


 


He’s a real real good hearted man...


 


 


©2007, Willie Armadillo

Definitely a salute goes out to William. I can only hope the squirrels and opossums I've rehabbed and released over the years are saying something similar about me. Somewhere up in the tall trees a few may gather occasionally and point -- "there she is -- I remember when . . . "
I love your thoughts, Ed.
