Dedicated to JUS BROTHER  "Cowboy"

A Poem for a Cowboy

It's the experienced sage who in truth understands,

that the ways of a boy are not the ways of a man,

for the boy looks at life as a party for him,

but the man recognizes deeper meaning within.

He does not go through life on the word of his brothers

alone, he remembers the words of the fathers and mothers.

He remembers their fathers and mothers before them.

He examines the prints and the skids on the path and then when

he faces the challenges of life as it goes,

he makes his decisions based upon what he knows.

He looks out for his brothers,

he covers their backs.

He takes care of his sisters,

he covers their tracks.

He protects all the children,

no matter their age.

He's an honorable man,

he's brother,  he's sage.

He's a witness to life

and lo and behold,

sage Brother Man lives cuz

there's the truth to be told.

The gauge of the Brother Man's not measured in years,

Jus' Brother Man's measure's in blood, sweat, and tears.

Peace and Love.     By  Barbara
