********

Why, you may say It had to come - someday Time has taken it’s toil On this tired old vagabond soul. Ain’t it a shame The older I get The more intense the pain This disease has set in That make my thoughts no longer my friend. Ready to paint my white war horse Gallop into the sacred Holy Land Hold up by the Jordan's edge Be led through the raging flood Travel across the universe Where ever my Master’s voice is being heard Remembering the promises in His Word. And be astonished In awe of the power and love Coming Vengeance and true friendship Regal Royalty yet grafted kinship. Wash me through the waters Refresh my brain Let it rain Do it, over and over again Make this madman sane. For time has taken it’s toil On this tired old vagabond soul Saddled and gazing My eyes horizontal hazing Patiently waiting Anticipating To say ‘Getty up’ Nudge my spurs in her sides And commence with the next part of the ride. No sad farewells As Dale said to Roy. . . . . “Happy Trails”

Lovely picture surely did catch my eye. This poem reads so tenderly and speeds along while reading and says lots. I did not know if i wanted to read it due to the title? I had not heard that word before but curiosity killed the cat, me and it is a discernable write with a good message for all. Supreme in fact, I loved it**********

Blazing the trail, riding off into the sunset with a smile of a life well lived, yet there is still so much living to do, wonderful sentiments...

Be always safe,
