Cowboy And Christian Poetry: Apr 30, 2012

http://cowboyandchristianpoetry.blogspot.com/2012_04_30_archive.html

Monday, April 30, 2012. I Miss Paul Harvey . I Miss Paul Harvey. Hello Americans, this is Paul Harvey, stand by for news! How many of you remember that name? We lost him quite a few years ago,. Since then, it hasn’t been the same. How far back can you remember? At what age do your memories begin? I remember being five years old,. Several vivid memories from way back then. I remember when Dave started first grade,. And I was left at home with mom all day,. I remember waiting by the door for hours,. Every ...

Cowboy And Christian Poetry: Aug 31, 2011

http://cowboyandchristianpoetry.blogspot.com/2011_08_31_archive.html

Wednesday, August 31, 2011. It isn't me . Poetry by Ken Hanson. Illustration by Steve Douglass. I’ve said this before, so you already know it,. It’s probably obvious to y’all,. There’s no use trying to hide the fact,. I’m not a real cowboy at all. I ride a Harley, not a horse,. I can control something not smarter than me,. I tried riding horses when I was younger,. So far the attempts have been three. Twice I tried riding my cousins Shetland Pony,. They put me on him, said everything would be fine,.

Sunday, April 10, 2011. They ran in while others ran out,. That fateful day in 01,. Thousands died but many were saved,. Before the day was done. First responders we call them,. Police, firemen, and paramedics too,. We also call them hero’s,. Their job is to save me and you. They were where they were supposed to be,. The day the twin towers fell,. A lot more would have died had it not been for them,. They did their job very well. Some say miracles happened that day,. The earth moves, buildings fall,.

Saturday, January 14, 2012. Got Your Back . I have a friend I’ve known for years,. He lives about 3 blocks north of me,. We don’t get together as much as I’d like,. He works just about all the time you see. We both have a passion for antique tractors,. We display them at our annual tractor show,. We met at a meeting of an antique tractor club,. That I was president of several years ago. We restore these old machines as a hobby,. To make sure that they survive,. To help keep their history alive. Hang arou...

Cowboy And Christian Poetry: Standing In The Shadow - poetry by Ken Hanson

http://cowboyandchristianpoetry.blogspot.com/2013/05/standing-in-shadow-poetry-by-ken-hanson.html

Sunday, May 19, 2013. Standing In The Shadow - poetry by Ken Hanson. Standing In The Shadow. The weatherman said to go outside,. It’s gonna be nice today,. One last chance to enjoy the sun,. Before winter is here to stay. The wind and rain are gone for a while,. I’m tired of being inside,. Today it feels like summer again,. A good day to go for a ride. A Harley is my steed of choice,. Made of steel and leather and chrome,. A city boy’s equivalent of a favorite horse,. Minus the living flesh and bone.

Wednesday, September 21, 2011. Small Footprints In The Sand. Our country changed September Eleven,. Right there for the whole world to see,. Our way of life had a wake up call,. It’ll never again be the way it used to be. If those words sound familiar it’s because they began,. A poem I wrote years ago,. A tragic event in our beloved country,. A date that we all know. Ten years later and we still hurt,. So many people we lost that day,. We grieve and move on as best we can,. But the pain will never go away.

Sunday, November 2, 2014. The Measure Of A Man - By Ken Hanson. In memory of Gene Hanson, my father:. The Measure Of A Man. When a man starts a family his life changes,. Like nothing he’s seen before,. A solitary life becomes a couple,. Then three or four or maybe more. The old carefree lifestyle is gone forever,. There are new things that need to be done,. Priorities change, what’s important now,. Is a wife, or a daughter, or a son. The family is now more important than the one,. They can also enjoy you...

Monday, November 28, 2011. Pleasing you pleases me,. That’s all I’ve ever wanted to do,. It’s been that way a very long time,. Ever since my world was still brand new. Your favorite horse, that’s what you call me,. I work real hard to deserve that name,. It goes without saying you’re my favorite cowboy,. You can be sure that will always be the same. Oh sure, when I was young I fought you real hard,. I thought I needed to be wild and free,. But you were determined to give me a chance,. But it doesn’...

http://cowboyandchristianpoetry.blogspot.com/2011_01_08_archive.html

Saturday, January 8, 2011. It’s 4 AM on a Sunday morning,. I’m sitting in the middle of the living room floor. There’s a big pile of rolled up newspapers,. Ready to go just inside the front door. There’s not a lot of ways to make much money,. When you’re fourteen years old and you don’t have a car,. But a paper route’s a good way to learn life’s lessons,. Apply yourself and it’ll take you pretty far. It teaches you how to deal with money,. And how to be responsible for what you do. Beetle Bailey seemed t...

Cowboy And Christian Poetry: Please Build Me A Home - By Ken Hanson

Sunday, July 20, 2014. Please Build Me A Home - By Ken Hanson. Please Build Me A Home - By Ken Hanson. My story began in nineteen forty five,. Near the end of world war two,. If you’ll permit me a moment of your time,. I’d like to tell it to you. I served in the navy for about twelve years,. Flying supplies around after the war,. Taking soldiers home who had done their time,. To resume the life they had before. It’s been said though not officially,. I flew the Berlin airlift for about a year,. They chop ...
