Coming full circle.

Coming full circle,

I am back in my roots;

the blue jeans and t-shirts,

the hats and the boots

Without understanding,

my life is in flux

and this time no complaining;

or yelling, This sucks!

You see, I’m a redneck;

just an old Texas boy

and this change that I’m having

is rekindling my joy.

And now this sweet woman

has entered my world;

beautiful, stunning,

a perfect cowgirl.

She rides and she writes

and makes my heart smile;

just being friends,

and that’s all right, for a while.

And maybe one day

something deeper will come;

but for now it’s enough

to have found someone fun.

    You say cowgirl
    I presume she is young
    Papa Dan but

    Some woman suggested to me
    In her late forties
    She liked younger men
    Some cou…. something
    Some word
    She had sent
    I can’t recall
    But
    What a woman
    With an old hat
    Would do
    I wouldn’t know at all
    Would you

    Well, since I am laughing so hard I can compose prose… I would have to say anything she wants… LOL

    Time to take what life will give you and its wonderful you found someone who you are more than comfortable with.

    But seriously now – she is absolutely beautiful, an exquisite creation of God. So who’s the kid holding the reins?

  • bigpapadan on Dec 13, 2010

    Karen, she is a friend who is an artist, paint, sculpture and, remarkably a poet as well. For the first time in over two years, I have found my smile again.

    Go for it papa. She looks stunning and I would be surprised if you gave up easily.

  • Karen Gross on Dec 14, 2010

    I am so glad that you have your smile back. God has blessed you with a friend who is lovely in form and feature, and is artistic and poetic. She sounds like a wonderful person. I pray that you will be very happy.

  • bigpapadan on Dec 14, 2010

    well, I have decided she is definately a friend; from there, we’ll see where it goes, but, yeah; happiness is cool.

    I am wearing a smile now myself. I feel as though I should clarify; this picture is from many years past. I am a little older and wider- hopefully wiser as well! I am honored to have inspired these words. I just love it! Looking forward to seeing where we may go from here! Never had poetry written for me before. Pretty cool! :)
