THE BEST POEM OF ROY BAIN

---

We the people of America, stand for Liberty;.

Brothers and Sisters united, living in the land of the free.

We abide by the Golden Rule; we treat our neighbors' right;

But if our Freedom is threatened, together we shall fight.

Because... We the people of America, stand proud and tall;

And when it comes to one another, it is Liberty for all.

We the people of America, share Equality;

All races and religions, different as can be;

Our nation has grown to greatness, as a melting pot.

A home for every color and proud of all we've got.

For... We the people of America, our future is divine;

These words spoken by our Hero's shall stand the test of time.

"I know not what course others may take, but as for me...

Give me liberty or give me death".

"Four score and seven years ago our forefathers brought

forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and 

dedicated to the proposition that, all men are created equal".

"Ask not what your country can do for you...but what

you can do for your country".

"I've been to the mountain; I've seen the other side,

And... I have a dream".

"Terrorists attacks can shake the foundation of our biggest buildings, but... They can not touch the foundation of AMERICA".

We the people of America, enjoy Prosperity,

We work hard on the farm, and in the factory;

From the mountains to the oceans, across the wide prairie,

Our America is beautiful, from sea to shining sea... Yes,

We the people of America, in GOD we trust;

GOD bless America, and every one of US.

Roy Bain

Today is going to be a great day,

Because I am going to make it that way.

And the rest of my life,

shall be the best of my life,

Because Today...

is going to be a great day!

Roy Bain

God gives to thee an 

abundance of love, through friends and family

from heaven above.

Try as you will,

all of your love to give you'll

have plenty still, for as long as you live.

For love is to share

and not meant to store: show

others you care, and you'll always have more.

God did not place

love in your heart to stay: for

love is not love, until you give it away.

Roy Bain

Do a little dreaming each and every day.

Reach for a distant star,

though it seems so far away.

Your dreams become your goals,

brought to action by a plan.

And your plan becomes

achievable the day your say I can.

So do a little dreaming 

of what your future is to be.

A successful life you'll

find is a self fulfilling prophecy.

As a wish becomes

reality it is time to wish anew.

So do a little dreaming

and you'll have a dream come true.

Roy Bain  

Oh the things that I did when I was a child;

Still bring back sweet memories to mind.

Day dreaming in Mineral City, I rode the Double R Ranch;

Where good guys always won and bad guys had no chance.

I'd saddle up my faithful ol' broom, ride through moms livin' room;

With a slap on my side, I'd go on my make believe ride;

The doggies were grazin', my cap guns were blazin';

Wishin' I was much bigger; and my broom was Trigger;

Every day after school, till daylight was through;

Then mom tucked me in bed singing, "Happy Trails to You."

Back when we were boys, we had no toys;

Pretending to be my hero was my game.

My friends were Hoppy and Gene, Dale was my Cowgirl Queen;

I played Roy Rogers in backyard wild western scene;

Proudly in my saddle I sat, wearing my white cowboy hat;

My dog became Bullet, my brother a sidekick named Pat;

Though the years have slipped away, and my hair has turned gray;

What I learned from my Hero, Is still with me today;

He taught me to do right in life's every endeavor;

The King of the Cowboys, shall be My Hero forever.

I'll forever love you...you'll always be the only one;

The one that I come home to...when the day is done;

And when we're not together...on my mind you'll always be;

For you are the best thing...that ever happened to me.

My life is filled with blessings...I count them one by one;

Everyone who makes me happy...with the kind things they have done;

At the top of my list...there you will always be;

For you are the best thing...that ever happened to me.

You are the world's greatest lover;

My darling, don't you see;

You are the best thing that ever happened to me.

You're always on my mind...a part of all I do;

You're the woman in my night time...you are my dream come true;

You are the world's greatest lover...my darling, don't you see;

You are the best thing that ever happened to me.

Roy Bain

Shine a lot of love on your friendships and quickly you will learn.

The more love you give to others the more they'll give you in return.

Be a giver that's what matters reach out and help a friend.

It's the hand that gives that gathers you'll be the winner in the end.

Cast your love upon the water it was never meant to keep.

Give of yourself a little harder for as ye sew, so shall ye reap.

So...shine a lot of love on your friendships and you'll find as you do.

The more love you shine upon them the more love, they'll shine on you.

Roy Bain 

Back in the days...when the gun was the Law;

The verdict went...to the Fastest on the draw.

Two angry men fought...they met in the street;

...A young man lay dead at the other mans feet.

The young man was the son...of a rancher in town;

A posse was gathered...to hunt the stranger down.

The trial was quick...I was given little hope;

Their justice would find me...at the end of a rope.

Oh the hanging tree, the hanging tree...so the story goes;

Where the ghosts of many a man walks free...all forgotten souls.

The night seemed forever...so, little did I sleep;

The last meal was served...yet, little did I eat.

The rightist came early...church songs they sung;

They said "It's Gods will"...that the drifter be hung.

Tied in my saddle ... through town I was led;

A blindfold was offered...as my last rights were read.

A few town folks laughed...a few others cried;

My heart was pounding...as the hanging tree rope was tied.

Oh the hanging tree, the hanging tree...so the story goes;

Where the ghosts of many walks free...all forgotten souls.

The hanging tree, the hanging tree...will end my misery;

And now they're taking me...to the hanging tree.

Oh the hanging tree, the hanging tree...so the story goes;

Where the ghosts of many walks free...all forgotten souls.

"Your sentenced to die...you'll be hung until dead;"

Those were the words...that the hanging man said.

Then a kick from my heel...and the horse jolted free.

I was off like the wind...they won't be hanging me.

Turning and twisting...my hands were still bound;

The crack of a riffle...and I fell to the ground.

A pain in my chest...and their justice was done.

This drifter had lived...and now died by the gun.

Oh the hanging tree, the hanging tree...so the story goes;

Where the ghosts of many walks free...all forgotten souls.

The hanging tree, the hanging tree... waits impatiently;

For they won't be taking me...to the hanging tree.

Roy Bain

When at first our hearing begins to fade;

Though the signs are foretelling, we may choose to evade.

We tell others they don't speak clearly, they mumble a lot;

My concentration is elsewhere, that's why I ask what.

Please talk a bit louder; your voice is so weak;

I could hear you OK, if you would look at me as you speak.

I can hear you just fine, when you're close at hand.

If you would learn to enunciate, I could understand.

Being with family is one of life's greatest joys;

But, don't expect me to hear with all of that noise.

It's easy to blame others, though it's not really fair;

It's your hearing problem, solve it, show others you care.

He who said 'Silence is Golden' spoke for himself only;

For the hearing impaired, "Silence is Lonely".

Roy Bain

Good morning GOD, how are you today?

I'VE BEEN UP ALL NIGHT LISTENING TO PEOPLE PRAY.

For what did they ask you LORD, and did you answer, yea or nay? THEY ASKED FOR EVERYTHING, BUT IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY.

It's a great morning GOD, I hope you're feeling good.

I'D FEEL LESS TROUBLED, IF YOU'D DO WHAT YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD.

I'd love to be perfect LORD, only if I could.

YOU COULD DO A WHOLE LOT BETTER, ONLY IF YOU WOULD.

I want to be happy GOD, to help my fellow man. AND I'LL AWAYS BE WITH YOU, HELPING AS I CAN.

I know you are busy LORD, with so much work to do.

THEN ASK HOW YOU CAN BE OF HELP, NOT WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU.

I hear what you're saying GOD, you expect the best from me.

YES, CHANGE FOR THE BETTER AND BETTER YOU SHALL BE. You make it sound so easy LORD, to exceed my hearts demands.

DIFFICULT OR EASY, YOUR FUTURE... LIES WITHIN YOUR HANDS!

Thank You, GOD
