I dedicate this to you, dad! May you be riding upon your horse high in the sky, sitting probably in your saddle, seeing sunny green pastures, as you gallop down the new trails for being "The Last Cowboy!" For now and forever! Riding your horse in a full gallop to reach heaven's gates! Not to forget about the old, dusty, beaten-down trails, as the sun is shining opon your face! It's for the legacy you left behind. Thank you for the 60 years of my life! The memories that you have given to me and shared with me! I will never forget you! Dad, it was your time to start your new journey and reunite with your family as you galloped off into the bright blue sky! For they all had been waiting patiently for you, "The Last Cowboy to arrive!" For now, you are on the other side! It is a beautiful sight! You dismount your horse with your polish black boots, which were taken out of the stirrups to stand firmly upon the clouds. As you hear your mother's voice saying to you "Welcome home, my son! Donald, your journey is through!" Now you can ride with your family forever, high above the clouds. "For the trails of heaven's cowboy will never die!!" With all my love to you, dad! From your only son; Danny

I'm not sleeping because I'm weeping to the feelings that I am missing you. I lie here wide awake. I don't know what it's going to take. To go through time without being a part of you. I believe I'm just existing because I'm missing being engaged with activities once shared with you! I'm trying to find a song with the words that I can sing along. That will tell  the words to what I feel in my soul. So much time has gone by. I feel like I'm just holding on to somebody that I don't want to let go. That's you. There's nothing I can do. The situation will never change. The furniture will never be rearranged. To make things right between the two of us. It will never be possible for me to be your number one man. Or to be the only man in your life. You have already proven that to me. This will never be possible. It will never be just me and you. So, I had to send my heart away and to put up a wall before I fell Into an abyss. This is true! Even though I still love you It was something I had to do. You weren't going to change your situation to be with me. Because, your  multiple situation  works best  for you. So this will remain the same. There will be no change to the course at hand. I will never ever be your only man. It just will never be. I'm signing off now Maybe someday you will see. If you only could have changed your ways! It would still be you and me. Simba

Mary Ann, I'm not going to write my negative thoughts. So, I have these positive words to say I wouldn't be who I am now or have the things that I have today If it wasn't for you being in my life of yesterday I would still be far behind Still sitting in the gray It is true I have to say I'm working harder now to educate and prepare for the new challenges of my new career I have come too far to throw it all away. I have learned to overcome all of my fears To become stronger in every way. I don't know what the future is going to bring. All one can do is to take it day by day. I'm not giving up! I have to keep forging forward. To grow stronger each and every day. You have pulled the strength out of me. The strength that I've had all along. To set goals and then to achieve them. The tasks that are in front of me. It's not the first time I have challenged the goals you introduced  to me. The ones I gave thought to then realize they would make me a better person. It was you that made me see. That when I set my mind I can do anything. To be able to accomplish and to achieve the tasks that are in front of me. I could go on and on to Infinity and beyond. So, with all these positive words. That I have written to you today. I'm going to end my words now. I'm going to end them in this way. Thank you from the bottom of my heart... For believing in me. From Me to You Simba

Pow Wow
To be truly alone does not just mean to be alone from others, it also include being alone from your poisons,prejudices, jealousy, hurts,anger, ambitions, fears, hopes, ego and your thoughts. Once you can drop all this baggage then only can you hope to truly understand what it is like to experience aloneness. Aloneness is vastly different to loneliness. Like water which can clearly mirror the sky and the trees only so long as its surface is undisturbed, the mind can only reflect the true image of the self when it is tranquil and wholly relaxed. A mind that has understood the whole movement of thought becomes extraordinarily quiet, absolute silent. Silence comes when the mind is no longer seeking, no longer caught in the process of becoming. The mind can never experience the new, and so the mind must utterly still. What is important is to be inwardly very simple, very austere, which is to have a mind not clogged with beliefs, with fears, with innumerable wants, for only such a mind is capable of real thinking, of exploration and discovery. Stillness that is induced, enforced, is still not stillness at all. It is like putting a child in the corner – superficially he may be quiet, but inwardly he is boiling. So a mind that is made quiet, and stillness that is induced can never uncover that creative state in which reality comes in to being. To observe, to watch, to give you whole attention to something beautiful, your mind must be free of preoccupations, must it not? It must not be occupied with problems, with worries with speculations. It is only when the mind is very quiet that you can really observe, for then the mind is sensitive to extraordinary beauty, and perhaps here is a clue to our problem of freedom. If you want to take a long journey, you must carry very little, if you want to climb to a great height, you must travel light. Simba

To have an overactive mind. I just don't understand, the reason behind. To get stuck on a thought. I don't know the reason, why? It plays over in my head, it gets worse every time. To say I will stop. I really do try! It seems to come back, with the blink of an eye. It pushes you further away each and every time. I don't know why these thoughts, stay in my head like  a display. My brain seems to be always, working overtime. I say that I'm sorry! To mean it that way. For these thoughts to come back, seems like everyday. It starts to degrade, any emotions that might remain. It keeps on pushing. Time slips away. It's all in my head! Im feeling the pain, of being an over-thinker. The thoughts remain the same. I'm starting to dread. The affecte it has on, the one I lost Hook Line & Sinker. I just wanted to say! That I am truly sorry for being this way. To cause the hurt, the dismay   of being an over-thinker. May I say to you! On this very day. That I really don't want it to be this way. It's all in my head. That's all I have to say. Simba

It's all in my head...
Hey Mary Ann! No more movies. No more wine. It all boils down to a waste of time. We snuggled, we cuddle, we reminisced! You said "I was the best that there is" I don't believe it now nor did I believe it then. I'm not the only one you do this with. This time I'm done I've said it before   I've realized it's a revolving door. Now, the reopening of  my eyes as of yesterday made me realize what I must do today. So, this is what I did! Canceled my timeshare ... The End. Simba

I'm in a blue mood dream. Knowing that you will be wearing that dress of blue. Think of me, when you are putting your dress on. With no bra just wearing a thong! I'm in a blue mood dream over you. Enjoy the day in your dress of blue! For all the compliments that will be given to you. Wishing I was in a suit of gray! Dancing to the music of our favorite song on this day. I'm in a blue mood dream. Think of us when you walk alone. Or as you're dancing to a theme song. Hear my voice spoken softly in your ear! If you will, for  I am whispering. I love you my dear! I'm in a blue mood dream The sun will go down as the moon will rise. Wishing I was looking into those beautiful blue eyes! As they accent your dress of blue. Making me fall deeper in love with you! I'm in a blue mood dream. The song is over it's time for me to leave. You are only in my imagination. It's only a dream.  I have to set you free now. Time for me to wake up from this fantasy. When I opened my eyes! That's when I realized. It was only. A Blue Mood Dream Simba

A Blue Mood Dream
My heart is heavy like a ton of bricks It's  not singing the same rhythm it's doing flips It seems that it's skipping beats not a happy rhythm the way this heart beats It's out of sync A total eclipse of the heart Like Niagara Falls the volume of water that flows over it's cliffs from my eyes so do my tears There's not a day that goes by that I'm not thinking of the last five years.   Spending time together like pioneers discovering new frontiers Is this the way it's supposed to be? Six months has gone by since you've been with me Life goes on not to remain the same Time will tell but in the meantime I'm going through hell I'm trying to find a way to overcome this heartbreaking spell I stay busy, I keep occupied  by working throughout my day I still think of you Then a tear runs down my cheek as it leaks from  my eye Once again my heart skips a beat Wishing it was pounding the rhythm of a happy melody playing to the tune of loving you If you were to put your head upon my chest   you would hear the story of our legacy I don't know where it will  go from here If there's a remedy for this heavy heart that's inside of me and to stop this waterfall called tears Talk to me from your pillow and I will hear you from here That you still love me because I still love you  my dear I write you these words from my heart and soul. I really do miss you I miss you so X's and O's it's time for me to go Until next time when I write you a new poem or maybe even hear your voice over the telephone Signed Simba 4 Dec 2020
