A True Man

Walk like a man .

Act like a champ today .

Always give your all .

Remember little things affect little minds .

Never take anything for granted .

Don't be an if only person .

Squeeze as much as you can out of each day .

Always stay cool .

Don't talk till you have some thing to say .

You will then be a champ in your own eyes

But more than that you will be a true man .

And also a champ in someone else's heart .

Fishing

I went fishing on this early August morning .

The bright sun shinning through the trees

On Lake Louise .

The trees are so green .

The wind is blowing lightly .

On the quiet still water

The water looked like clear glass to me

The trees looked beautiful

with their reflection on the water .

How lucky I feel to be free this morning .

There is nothing out here but me .

I am so relaxed with the line laying on my finger

I could just go to sleep .

I wish I could do this more often .

Oh-oh-oh-oh oh my line is moving !

My tip is bending .

I better bring my line in and see

What more beauty there is out here

On Lake Louise .

Oh-oh-oh-oh fish on !

Look what I see

There is something tonight to eat .

My Father

My father watched over me .

When I was with him ,

I always found peace

At the end of each day .

A friendship shared , laugh ,

Smiley and squeaky .

When we went fishing ,

We would go to lake Louise .

He would say lake Louise

Was named after my mother .

We fished for bullheads ,

Maybe that is why I am so

Bullheaded it is in my blood .

When we went hunting ,

He would have his J. C . Penney shot gun

And I would have the home made gun shot gun

My dad made for me .

Dad and I never missed a shot

When we hunted together .

When we went horse back ridding ,

Dad on Tilley me on Topper

We would ride easy

Time was always on our side .

Tilley would get her Hamms beer

every Sunday !!!

Without him I miss these things we once did .

I tried to listen to him ,

He used smiley to talk with and about kids .

He used the word and sound of squeaky

To get a smile on a child's face .

When he took snap shots of people ,

He would ask them not to say cheese

But horse ban ewer so we would smile

And we would think of his horse Tilley.

Without my father these days has left a void

But I fill it with the joy of remembering him.

I took his hand when I was young

When I heard his call or whistle ,

When I run today ,

I know he is with me .

He always wished me the sunshine of tomorrow

And always said take one day at a time

Dad always said you are to be seen not heard

Dad I am bullheaded just like you !!!!

My Grandma

My grandma was always able

To cheer me up

When ever I was down

Like nobody else could .

Some one would say

You are to be seen not heard

But at grandma's house

I could let myself go for I was always ok

Some one would always say

That I was spoiled by my parents

But I had my grandma to keep me grounded

And to keep me on the straight and narrow

When my world would become dark ,

Grandma would lead the way with her glowing smile

Grandma shined in the rain

My grandma was like a waterfall's rainbow

Grandma shined in the rain

She was a gift as a grandma

She was grandma to everyone she met

I wish , she was here today

You Can Do It

You can not believe

You can breathe .

You can not spit ,

You can not swallow

And what is sweat ?

You may even shake

You do what it takes

It is ok to have nerves

You do it ,

I am your coach .

I believe in you

You see .
