I think with age the things I saw Grow clearer in my mind. I see through mists, things then unseen- New beauty now I find. The hawk against a cloudless sky The quick flight of a deer. The falling stars I’ve watched at night- Which seemed so very near. And people? Ah, a fickle lot I see it in myself. The miles and years flew swiftly by And stole my youth and health. Moments savored long ago- I taste from time to time. And how we parted matters not- The memory’s still sublime. The Painted Desert, ruddy hued- I have it still within. Sometimes it helps to set my mood, An old and trusted friend. My saddle partners, some long dead- Still gather round at night. Indeed I see things clearer now- My memory’s my delight. |

Sir, thank you for this...it's being placed in my library... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |
