Sparks from the anvil while exploring life and America's treasures-South of the Mason Dixon line

Every boy dreams of being a cowboy….

and that was my aim.

I wanted to be a high ridin’ hero and so I saddled up and headed West for a life on my own.

There were many times I wished I was back home. But I became a cowboy that rode away so very long ago. I never forgot memories of things that might have been.

So here I am and there are you. I am still a boy that rode away so very long ago. Chasing dreams under a shared moon and stars.

And I hear your voice on the line which makes me remember I am not alone.

I never forgot those memories of things that might have been.

    There is definitely a message there. I hope she knows it when she sees it. Don’t go ridin’ off into the sunset just yet.

  3. A great quote and this one by John Wayne,
    ‘I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” – The Shootist (1976)
