I'd like to think I'm wiser, Than I was when I was young. And slower now to speak my mind- And loose my sharp-edged tongue... My friends and my companions- Are resting in the ground, And I can't help but wonder, Just why I'm still around? I'm still a drifting cowboy- At least in heart and mind. With a trail of precious memories, Of things I've left behind. My cowboy friends of yesteryear, Some broncs I rode and loved. The silver, Arizona skies- Still somehow are above. The canyons, and the deserts- The black, star-studded sky... Like diamonds set in velvet, You could touch them, should you try. So now I have my camera, To catch and hold each scene- The sandstorms, and the whirlwinds, The mountain lake, serene. Wiser? I'm not certain- But older, that's a fact. No longer quick to ball my fists- I've learned to use some tact. Wiser? I can't tell you- But I savor every day... Each pleasure ere it's passing, Every friend along the way... Wisdom? Just what is it? I think it could be termed- Ability to use in life, The things that you have learned. |
