A life time !!

Though all the tides of time
Can be seen in his face,
His thick leathery skin
Shows it`s been a hard race

Tired sad hazels eyes
That have seem many a sight
Still with a twinkle in them
Because he knows what`s right

Tight tanned skin over his cheeks
Weathered from windy skies
For he has seen many things
Toughened him, made him wise

His lips are pale and thin
But his smile`s so sincere
He has many tales to tell
That you should sit and hear

Bare backed horses he rode
And smoked a peace pipe too
Feathers and harmony
He was always there for you

He may not run around
Or shout and cuss like us
Age means nothing to him
Just love him, don`t make a fuss


The wise man rules the day with his heart
