A  LONER OF A MAN


 He saw the sun but when the sun went down,


 He wanted nothing more of that which was 
 Around.

 Heading for the great Colorado Rocky mountains 
 Said he,

 I will not be back until I see a land of
 Eternity.

 A long time ago, this man not many would know,


 As for the few, he treated them with kindness, 
 they would not forget.

 A loner of a man, no choice to love and care, an 
 Inherited family,

 Because he did help another kind, they took from 
 Him the love in his life.

 He wanted to be alone and he learned to care, 
 Again only pain and despair,

 A mountain man you see, he had a life, until 
 Life met eternity.
