Hard times come to all of us
And we have different ways
Of dealing with them. Some
Of us just pretend the problem
Is not there but that just makes
It worse. Others of us are like
A knight on a white horse holding
Their lance up galloping toward
Their problem and defeating it
And winning the challenge.
There was once a little boy
Who was given a pair of
Cowboy boots for his
Birthday. He was so proud
Of those boots he wore
Them until they were
Too small. The boots,
Holster, cap gun and
Cowboy hat made up
His favorite outfit.
Doesn’t that man
On the horse holding
The sword up in the
Air ever get tired of
Holding it up?
