" Looking back down the trail, I have done things, seen things, experienced some things, and live my life. Fifty four years ago I made a dollar mowing lawns and shoveling snow. Fifty years ago I repaired a radio and a TV or two. Well! I done a few thing that cowboys do like, driving cattle it’s the steering wheel I ‘m not sure about; I don’t remember wheels on the steers, bailing hay, sloping hogs, and feeding chickens. Had a friend name Chris Limoux. I still ware a cowboy hat, vest and boots. I remember ice being delivered and put in our icebox by a man driving a horse drawn wagon, the Jewel tea man, and the tinker that came to our home the same way. If I close my eyes I can still see steam locomotives’. I have built a few houses, worked on the railroad, worked on the space shuttle, worked on star wars, not the movie, did the development test of the air bag and if you have had the vocation to use one I hope you realize I was thinking of you. Ouch!!! I have worked in law enforcement and security. Drove a long haul heavy haul truck, laundry deliver truck, race car and my mother to gray hair."
Now tell me is this not a man you would be interested in sitting down and having a cold beer with or riding the range while he regaled you with stories about his life?? I think I would like that!
The Name of Roy's Poem is;
A LOT OF SONG!!
To all who venture here
Take with you my joy
My spirit sings of angel wings
The notes you played
A kiss my friends
A gentle hug
My hand reaches
From my heart
A cup of his blood
To fill your soul
From me to him to you
Thank you, god bless you
