For Janice, and all the "wild ones! "

This post is as the title says, for Janice, and for all of us who have a streak of "wild child " in us. The picture above while it looks quite peaceful, is Phoenix, and we all know he has a streak of "something"

For the wild ones 

Before we hurt, 

Before we were scared

When we took life flat out 

Just because we were dared 

Jumped into the water 

Not thinking disaster

The current was strong 

And we just swam faster 

The horses we rode, 

The stories we told

The chances worth taking 

We were fearless and bold

Up till the wee hours

Always home late

Chores done at six

At work by eight! 

So why did we stop

Did we really get smarter? 

Or was keeping that pace , 

Just getting harder?

Now don't you worry  

She is still there inside

A little bit tired

But she hasn't died

Once in a while 

If the timing is right 

She’ll  howl at the moon

 And dance through the night

So here’s to the wild ones 

Wherever they are

I’ll drink a toast to us

Out under the stars! 

Stay warm and safe
