Acrylic on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.
Signed on the front.
once they made a pact
to greet the sun together
arm in arm
in any kind of weather
how old they’ve grown
bone and muscle weary
deriving power from the sunrise
well, that’s just my theory
at dawn they ride
to greet the sun
tomorrow may deny them
for now a smile and a hug
counting each day as a gift
a lifetime is short, oh so swift
