Been Blessed with Friends, Cursed with Foes Got all my fingers; Got all my Toes. Been Hot as Hell And Damn near Froze, But what the Hell; That’s how it goes. Been Mad as Hell And sometimes yell. Not very often do I Ring the Bell. Been sad at times For no good reason. Maybe it had to do With time & Season. Cowboy’d some With both my Bro’s But that my Friend Was a long time ago. Hunted & fished And chased the odd girl. Trapped lots of fur And skinned the odd squirrel. Moved to the Prairie And had to leave Mary. Barely old enough; But I did not tarry. A Mounties life It was going to be I had grown up to Become an RCMP. Didn’t take long Before I met Terry. A beautiful girl I planned to marry. Wedded we were in ‘71 Our life together had just begun. And her Dad didn’t need To bring his shotgun. Raised three girls In the years that followed That, my friend, was not Hard to swallow. Tried for a Boy No pattern to follow. I planted the seed Much too shallow. Now have been married Some forty plus years. Thinking it’s time To shift to high gear. We’ve lost some friends Along the way. A price too soon We all must pay. Hear this my friend And do not delay. You gotta quit work And learn how to play. Family & Friends Are what it’s about Our precious time We should not flout. I love my country I love my friends Too soon I think, I’ll need Depends. Had two good horses One real Cowie. What the Hell! I’m going to Maui!! John D. BRECKNOCK
