His stubborn cowboy pride
hides his faithful heart
with all others swept aside
he shows them how to love impart

He takes a cowboy ride
a carousing, wild, rout
his gentleness, none the less implied
as he raises poetry's shout

His cowboy heart is wide
encompassing all that's right
his friends stand by him with pride
as he holds back the night

So Mark no-one is fooled
by his  tough, cowboy pose
we know by passion he is ruled
and scented by the rose

He moves with cowboy stride
he's unsurpassed in valor
and no-one can deride
the dreams he shares in color

I  love his cowboy ways
his principle and honor
I even love his passion plays
and the way he writes in color

This cowboy spreads his dreams
Through a simple sharing  heart
from Mark Bohannan - in music's streams
he color's up the art.

ethome,
I have it on good authority that he is not only blushing he is cowering in terror, waiting for this write.

Janet Marie, I knew that you above all people would pick the verse that I think best describes him. I'm so glad you did.
laugh loud and proud

Kethry, I am so honored and yes very touched by this splendid piece.  So maybe I am blushing a little but I AM NOT COWERING my friend...........NEVER........shhhhhhhhhh, now don't tell anything you might have heard or you could let the cat(sorry LJA) out of the bag.  Big hugs to you and kisses for this one for sure.  You pen me better than I truely am but you will not find this cowboy asking you to change your mind at all.

A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses.

Victoria,
If I have shown you, for a minute the view from my perspective then I have done my job.

Mark,
you know it's true. I can only write what I see and this is nowhere near good enough for you, but the best I good do with the tools I had.
Btw. Yanno it's not a good idea to mention bag and cats in the one sentence with LJA skulking around.

Live strong, belong
