When your day seems out of balance
And so many things go wrong.
When people fight around you,
And the day drags on so long...
When parents act like children
In-Laws make you feel like a fool
Go out into your pasture...
Wrap your arms around your mule.
His gentle breath enfolds you,
As he watches with eyes so big and clear
He may not have a Ph.D.,
But there is just something about those ears!
His head rests on your shoulder
You embrace him good and tight;
He puts your world in balance,
And makes it seem all right.
Your tears will soon stop flowing,
The tension is now eased.
The garbage has been lifted
You'll be quiet and at peace.
So when you need the balance
From circumstances in your day
The best therapy you can seek-
Is out there chomping hay!

YOU CAN'T BUY LOVE???
You can't buy loyalty so they say;
I bought it though, the other day.
You can't buy friendship, tried and true;
Well just the same, I bought that too.
I made my bid, and on the spot,
Bought love and faith, and a whole lot of happiness.
So all in all,
The purchase price was pretty small.
I bought a simple, trusting heart
That gave devotion from the start.
If you think these things are not for sale,
Buy a brown eyed donk with a rope like tail!
