I must lead a charmed life.
Either that or I'm really a cat in disguise,
it seems that I have nine lives...
But I'm not sure how many are gone...
I've been married (too young) and then
divorced.
I've made other mistakes in my love life,
been a rocky course..
And just when I gave up on men
for life, I swore...
Along came Les and knocked on the door
of my heart.
His smile brightens my day,
he lights up a room!
"Love me love my horse",
I said when we met, then boom
He's divorced
and here we are on the ranch.
We've a number of horses, and I find joy everyday,
In seeing them out in the pasture at play.
We've had some "bad luck" since we got together,
and stormy times that together we weather..
A fire, horse deaths, reversals of fortune,
But along with these things we found value
in new friendships,
and this helps the tension
of everyday life.
I've broken bones, my neck, been shot in the head
I've had knee surgeries, and now have a new knee, instead
of a job which I need... the bills pile up,
but somehow we just get our noses above water, Chins up.
But through all of this, I think that I've learned
the value of life's lessons, and
friendships well-earned.
Remember my friends and enemies, too
When you start to feel sorry for yourself,
Along comes someone in worse shape than you,
and with courage to spare,
they work long and hard to be "normal"
and not feel sorry for themselves.
It's a shame to miss out on living your life,
by feeling sorry for your situation or station in life.
Live, laugh, enjoy the good times,
But most of all love yourself
and be kind enough to you
to allow yourself to laugh at you
once in a while..
too serious leads to ulcers, and sour outlooks on life
And lord knows we've all got enough of the strife
that everyday brings.
