If you would only give me time I’d fall in love with you. You tell me that you like my rhyme, I hope that that is true. I am an aging cowboy- In the sunset of his life... My children are all nearly grown, My ailments now are rife. I long to see the tumbleweeds- And feel the prairie breeze, And hear my saddle creaking- As I ride along at ease. I wish that I were young again- The grass was far more green. My eyes were wide with wonder- At the things that I have seen. I still had dreams of glory- And things that I would do- And dreamed of ephemeral love- I wonder, was it you? But years seem to have quickly fled- I’m cynical and old... And all too quickly I’ll be dead- With stories still untold... Perhaps it’s better after all- To put those thoughts aside... Forget the wasted dreams of love- And passion, and of pride. So I will merely say once more- Before I bid adieu- In other, better, younger times- I’d fall in love with you. |

No don't put those thoughts aside! That's the wrong thing to do!!! Thanks for the read!  I want to die peacefully, in my sleep, like my grandfather, not screaming, terrified, like his passengers. |

Beneath the surface of the wanderlust cowboy dwells a truly romantic heart... Your stories will not go untold, John... Besides - You've still got plenty of time to write some more for us...  |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh John, my heart goes out to you, this is indeed so heartaching, but I know deep down with all my heart that it is never too late to fall in love, for we are always young at heart and it is the heart that makes two love one another! (sigh) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is sensitive and touching! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet John, thank you for sharing!   May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |
