FROTH AND BUBBLE
-
Life is mostly froth and bubble.
Two things stand like stone:
Kindness in another´s troubles,
Courage in your own.Thank you, Adam, for writing those lines.
They were some of your best and most of us agree
That you put things in a nutshell.
And that´s the secret of poetry.They are touching, quiet words of the edifying kind
And I´ve put them to music, I hope that´s okay.
If you turn in your grave, I´m sorry,
But it’s too late to ask you now.Life is mostly froth and bubble.
Two things stand like stone:
Kindness in another´s troubles,
Courage in your own.I´d like to ask you, Adam, a question or two
About your inner life and what went on in your mind.
I read about your difficult childhood,
About your love for horses.Well, you rode out one morning in June 1870.
You were only 37 and put an end to your story.
I have a picture of a loner,
Just a man and his horse and a rifle.Life is mostly froth and bubble.
Two things stand like stone:
Kindness in another´s troubles,
Courage in your own.Courage in your own.
