THE DAY YOU WERE BORN,YOU WERE A STAR
LIKE SOMEONE ISOLATED IN A VACANT CAR
WHETHER YOU MAKE OR YOU MAR
OR YOU INITIATE A HEALTHY WAR
ALL THESE THINGS ARE WORTHLESS SO FAR
LEAVING ASIDE YOU AS THE SINGLE STAR
THE DAY YOU DIE,YOU ARE JUST BORN
YOU CAN BE KILLED,YOUR SPIRIT CAN’T BE TORN
SURROUNDED BY HYPOCRITE FRIENDS AND ENEMIES HYPOTHETICAL
MAKING [...]

The moon is shining bright tonight-
Remembering a dream-
And I wish I was in TEXAS-
Fort Worth, or Abaline!
The radio says its RAINING-
An I know very well-
That every road in TEXAS
Is SLIPPERY as hell!
Down there in Mighty DALLAS-
The POLICEMEN STAND AROUN’-
When KENNEDY tried to just ride by-
They let em SHOOT HIM DOWN!
It took six seconds in Texas-
To [...]

When the present occupant of the “White-House” is gone-
And we never can see “Jackie” any more!
And the little laughing CAROLINE
Who always ran along-
What did they have, that no one had before?
I never can see Caroline, without a little sigh,
And “Jackie” with her dress, so small and slim-
I can’t forget the PRESIDENT, as he went walking [...]

The pheasants are starving in
four foot af snow!
With Northerners blowing, at
twenty below!
Out there in the Soil Bank, wher
snowdrifts are deep.
The pheasants are lying, for-
ever to sleep!
The news came from Washington,
right from the wire-
“Feed-the-poor-pheasants!” like
a prairie on fire!
John found a pheasant, its last
strength was shorn,
And it died in his hand, too late
to eat corn!
The pheasants get [...]

Oh the happy, happy Farmer,
He is getting ready now-
To harness up the horses,
And attach them to the plow!
The wild geese flying over-
Flying far- and flying free-
Oh, the Prairie Farmers dreaming-
There his greatest pleasures be!
He can hear the wild geese calling
Flying free, and flying far-
And the tired Farmer’s dreaming-
There his only pleasures are!
Theres a hill, away [...]

Then the little dog looked up at me-
And his eyes were soft and dim….
“And did he remember Annabel Lee?
“And did she remember him?”
There is no song so dear to me-
Till lifes last tale is told-
and over her tomb, the silver moon
Turns all her beams, to gold!
Was there a valley of singing trees?
And a kingdom by [...]

When I was just a little kid,
In years all flown away-
I learned a little Darkie Song-
They called it Nelllie Gray
And I have played it all my life-
Since that golden time-
And every fidddle that I had-
Sang this old song of mine!
“When the moon has climbed the Mountains”
Seemed the sweetest line to me :
Tho I never saw [...]

I first called this poem “Yound Days” But one night when I swept the school house out
I found this on her tablet written before she left
fifty years ago
Last Night of Seventeen
So take it for the Title
She wrote the name for my poem fifty years ago
When prairie winds blow as the winter goes by
She sleeps there [...]

I was so sorry when Hanna died-
Wife said that night, I cried and cried-
And then next morning walked and found
A sky blue feather, on the ground!
I keep it here, for her, and we
Are ONE again…..in Memorie!
Because the road was steep and long-
And through a dark and lonely land-
God set upon my lips a song-
And…….put a [...]
