Sparkle

Wants to be a good man

Must be a success with the horse business

Satisfied with his love

Sparkle

He sits there,

Doesn’t know where he’s going tomorrow,

The dawn rising,

The dusk setting,

He’s in his chair,

Rocking,

Back and forth,

What is it that he wants,

What is it that bugs him the most,

As much as he tries,

He can’t try hard enough,

He’ll pick up a baby,

When it’s crying,

Alone in bed,

He’ll lie by that foal,

In the hay,

Sleeping with it,

When it’s been freed,

From those motherly bonds,

He’ll throw a rope,

Down that bank,

Heaving,

And pulling,

That lamb,

Freeing that lamb,

Stuck in the mud,

He in his chair,

Rocking,

Back and forth,

His walking stick,

On his side,

Pondering,

If he could have done enough,

Wondering,

How to make that river flow,

Pondering,

How,

To turn a trickle,

Into a gush,

Spreading out,

Making brown,

Turn green,

He’s in his chair,

Rocking back,

And forth,

His walking stick at his side,

Thinking,

Of how to save,

All those poor animals,

Outside,

Fighting against the wind,

And the rain,

Battling,

The typhoon,

While he’s,

Stuck inside,

His girl,

At his feet,

Looking up at him,

Patting his hand,

Reassuring him,

That,

For now,

All he can be,

Is he,

And where he belongs,

Is there,

With his girl at his feet.

He thinks,

That maybe it’s true,

That maybe,

He really isn’t enough,

That maybe this business,

Is just too tough,

That,

That old man,

Over in the corner,

That young heart,

In the other,

That captain,

Resting back on his laurels,

And that musician,

Strumming his violin,

His,

Foundation stones,

His building blocks,

Those reasons,

He got going,

Those reasons he stays,

He ought to be more loyal,

To them,

Yet,

He’s afraid,

He hasn’t done enough,

He knows,

They love him,

He knows,

They are his backbone,

Yet,

He’s worried,

Can he show them his skills,

Can he combine,

His power,

His charisma,

And challenge,

Those who say he cannot,

Proving,

That odds,

Are worth the bet,

That his casino,

Is the one with,

That lucky winning streak.

Some people,

Are lucky to have a dozen,

Some people,

Are lucky to have a few,

Some people,

Are unlucky to have none,

Some people,

Hear the birds and the bees,

Some people

See the world,

Some people

Are have none,

Some people

Fly through the skies,

Some people

Ride through the fields,

Some people

Have none,

Yet,

He has it all,

He doesn’t need,

That dozen,

He doesn’t need,

That few,

He doesn’t need,

To see,

The world,

He doesn’t need,

To hear the birds and the bees,

He doesn’t need,

To fly through the skies,

He doesn’t need,

To ride through the fields,

For,

He has all he needs,

He has that one,

Who sparkles,

When he wakes,

That one,

Who shines,

When he sleeps,

He has that one,

Who gives him,

Happy dreams,

Scaring away,

All those monsters,

Deep at night.
