Default Gettin' Old

It sucks getting old, Especially when it affects something that has been such a big part of you for most of your life.
Many years ago I suffered a broken neck, Fractured two disc’s in my spine and tore my brain stem in a pretty hellasious horse & cattle wreck.
But like the tough old piece of dirt that I am I came back from being a veg, to riding the range again.
The fractures in my spine never healed, …Over the years scar tissue and arthritis have taken a toll.
The Doc. Told me two years ago No More workin on horse back! …
Well, As of now I realize she’s right.
Next week I’ll spend three days helping the 26 Bar move a heard down from the high country.
It will be the last drive for this old cowpoke.
I know I’m gonna hurt big time, And I know My body just can’t do it any more.
It’s hard to admit that this point has come, Even harder yet is seeing this part of my life come to a close.
I was a Marine, I was a Cowboy … In my soul I am still both.
I’ll miss the open sky, The sound of leather, The smell of horse and cattle And the nights by the fire.
I’ll still build their saddles and gun gear, But I’ll ride the range no more.
To all those old Marines of my youth … Semper Fi !
To all my compadre’s over the years … Via Condios’ From a Ghost Rider.
