Cowboys Never Cry An old ringer told me why cowboys never cry. "They'll never break their hearts if they don't say goodbye." "Never love a cowboy cause they're a breed apart. Although you're in his arms, you're not quite in his heart." "When loving gets too tough they're on their horse and gone, leaving some poor cowgirl sitting alone to mourn." With apologies to all our resident cowboys  Stand straight and tall, not the reflection as others see you, but as you truely are. Clearwater |

Dee - But it sure is fun having a cowboy around till they ride off into the sunset!! Enjoyed. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

 (big hugggssssss) Oh Dee, I understand these feelings ever so much, though I know how it truly must ache cowboys hearts inside though and especially their sweethearts when the time comes to let go! (sigh) This is sensitive and heartfelt, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Dee, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Those cowboys can be tough. But why are their pillows sometimes wet in the morning? |

Hey there girl........so nice to see you posting again. Sorry for my absence lately but life has a way of doing that sometimes. No apologies needed on the poem. Your words have much truth to them but hey.......we are what we are and believe it or not, some don't ride away. Or so I am told lol. |

Dee, tis true of the tough and ruff....and tis true of the ones who fight wars...who sometimes love and leave....carrying their feelings with them...seldom sharing their inner tenderness... |

White rose, I think you just might be right. (if the cowboys I know are anything to go by) Midnitesun, hmmm good question \Smartchick, don't feel too sad, I think it was just that ringer who thought that way.

Sunshine, I have an idea we might just know another one Mark, one of my favourite cowboys. I haven't been here a lot lately either, much to my disappointment. I'm glad you spared a little time to read something of mine. Magnus, methinks the rough and the tough just don't show what they really do feel. Thanks all, Dee Stand straight and tall, not the reflection as others see you, but as you truely are. Clearwater [This message has been edited by Dee (09-16-2002 12:05 AM).] |
