I find, sometime, that I just tend to need a friend. To sit with me awhile, some quiet moments spend... So I can reminisce awhile, relive some bygone days, Or maybe sing a verse of "I Love You a Thousand Ways". Sometime I like to sit and look at photographs, Of friends, and family, a life that long has passed, And talk about the life I lived, the way I used to be... A history of past mistakes, that serve to make me..Me. I've been accused of bragging of the things I've done, Making wrong sound like it is a lot of fun. I must confess I've been a fool, or I'd be lying, Sometime a man just has to laugh, to keep from crying. I write about the days I spent out on the range- Living hard, while friends all prayed that I would change. The only way that I can cope, And face reality- Is write my heart, and hope that you will spend some time with me. |

John: this is beautiful and yes I do spend much too much time looking at pictures . . . but they hold so many dear memories this line: Sometime a man just has to laugh, to keep from crying. Amen to that I loved this xxoo |

As for me, friend, I am always eager to read your tales 'out on the range'. That is what makes you, You. Thanks, Melton |
