The Bull called Meek It’s hard to ride this bull called meek I cannot hide the flames of weak They burn my mind of self-control I cannot bind or stay the goal I cannot stay the bucking ride The twists and turns of lives abide And though I hold as tight as hell I never get to hear the bell Each day I start the test in full And wrap my legs around the bull Swear that I will stay the course But a bull is not a horse And I am bucked into the sky And land upon the sigh of why That tears my flesh and breaks my bones That brings but naught but pains and moans Some day I’ll hear the ending bell And win the prize of peace as well. |

Peace is such a heavy belt-buckle, Sir... but somehow? I see you swaggering with a smile under the weight of it. Good St. Paddy's Day to you, Sir! |

Oh boy, am I ever familiar with this bull, it is a very hard animal to ride... But there it is when I wake up, every morning, staring and snorting at me...so I climb on again, even thought it has thrown me many times before... Love the poem, See More....  _______ice ><> |

Each day I start the test in full And wrap my legs around the bull Swear that I will stay the course But a bull is not a horse LOL Seymour, I know exactly what you mean!!  Hugs to you, my friend,  Ethel |
