"At Night In My Dreams" I hung up my riggin', I laid it all down. I've spent my last entries on fruitless go 'rounds. I'm nearly fifty, and too old it seems- But I'm still a champion at night in my dreams. At night in my dreams, I'm still ridin' them high! My spurs on my boots, hooking holes in the sky. I thrill to the lights, and the dirt, and the screams... And I'm still a champion at night in my dreams. For twenty-two years I went "down the road"- I rode some good horses, sometimes I got throwed... My wife finally gave up on all of my schemes, But I'm still the champion, at night in my dreams. At night in my dreams, I am rolling in dough- A champ on a roll in the Pro Rodeo... On top in the standings with all of the cream- Yes, I'm still a champion, at night in my dreams. |

I was smiling all the way through this. Where oh where would we be without our dreams? I might not be the champion but I can be the queen.... (in my dreams) nice! |

I can't help but see you as a champion forever as you weave words that rate the highest in my mind. Ride them high in your dreams, my friend, ride them high.  Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

We all need to feel like a champion at times. Even if it's only at night in our dreams. Nice write, John. All writing comes |
