August 3rd……...”WHEN YOU AND YOUR SIBLINGS LIVED ON YOUR FARM NEAR KIESTER, MINNESOTA, DID YOU EVER PLAY COWBOYS N INDIANS AT THE FARM OR AT COUSIN’S HOMES”???
POEM – “Tiny Cowboys n Gals” created by N. Elliott Noorlun on 9/13/2018
Summer fun in 1951 saw cap-guns a blazin’ in Austin Minnesota!!! Elliott’s big sister, Rosemary(L), is in plaid dress and big brother, Lowell(R), is aiming over the shoulder of his cousin. 😉
Tiny cowboys n cowgals at play,
Beneath a Summer’s sun.
Chasin’ down bad guys, With pistols at hand,
And sending them on the run.
Thankfully raised, By God-fearing folk,
Who taught all respect for life.
So these little ones, In their formative years,
Would never cause anyone strife.
It’s always the best to make and keep peace by smoking the “peace pipe”!!! 😉
Unlike today, Where critics will say,
That a gun, In itself is all bad.
They get lost in their fears, While back in these years,
We were taught the RIGHT ways, And we’re GLAD!!! 😉
I may be only one oat seed in a field of millions, yet I have a story to share of beginnings on our beloved farm in southern Minnesota and beyond to life as I've seen it to this point. Famous? No. Gifted? Unlikely. Yet, I want to leave a legacy to my children and grandchildren of who this gentle Norwegian man was. My happy times, sad times, successes and failures. Someday, those who are tiny now, will have this volume to come to and get to know this Norwegian Farmer's Son.
