Bearskins

(Trevor Toews, September 19, 2022)

BEARSKINS MARCH STATELY, ROW ON ROW

GUARDING THEIR MONARCH, ON DOWN THE ROAD

THEY BE HER GRENADIERS, DRESSED UP IN STYLE

ATTENDING HER DOWN, THE LONELY MILE

SINCE HER FIRST REIGN, THEY'VE ALWAYS BEEN THERE

GUARDING THEIR QUEEN, NO MATTER WHERE

NOW THEY'RE COMPLETE, THEIR LAST DUTY REPLETE

HEADS BOWING DOWN, DOWN TO THEIR FEET

TWELVE OF THE VERY BEST, STANDING ON GUARD

TO DO THEIR LAST DUTY, FOR THE MONARCH THEY LOVED

THE FLAG ONCE HELD HIGH, FOR SEVENTY YEARS

NOW RESTS IN HER VAULT, WATERED BY TEARS

THEIR FUTURE NOW RESTS, IN THE NEW SOVEREIGN'S HANDS

BOUND TO FACE CHANGE, THROUGH-OUT THE LAND

BUT STILL THEY WILL BE, THE TOUGHEST AND BEST

TO GUARD THEIR NEW KING, AS THEIR QUEEN LIES AT REST

Christmas For Cowboys

(Trevor Toews, November 23, 2021)

CHRISTMAS FOR COWBOYS, OUT ON THE RANGE

JUST LIKE MY JESUS, I WOULDN'T EXCHANGE

THE STARS ARE FOR REAL, AND SO ARE THE TREES

ALONG WITH THE CATTLE, OUT HERE IN THIS BREEZE

THE CATTLE, THE SHEEP, SAFE IN THEIR STALLS

OCCASSIONALY HEARD, A NEW-BORN BAWLS

LIFE FOR THE COWBOY, AT CHRISTMAS TIME

FROM BLEATS TO WHEAT, CAN BE BUSY AT TIMES

THE ANGELS DANCE, WHLE SNOWFLAKES FALL

AS WHEN JESUS WAS BORN, ASLEEP IN THE STALL

LITTLE LORD JESUS, IS NOW FULLY GROWN

ALIVE IN THE HEARTS, OF COWBOYS AT HOME

THEY TAKE HIM ALONG, WHEREVER THEY GO

FROM COLD PRAIRIE RANGES, TO RODEOS

'TILL AT LAST THEY FLY, ON ANGELS' WINGS

AT THE END OF THEIR TRAIL, THEIR YODELS THEY SING

THERE THEY RESPOND, TO THE LAST CATTLE CALL

FOR COWBOYS AT CHRISTMAS, AT THE LAST ROUND-UP CALL

Many

(Trevor Toews, November 11, 2021)

MANY WERE CALLED, AND ANSWERED THE CALL

TO LAY THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE

TO PROTECT AND DEFEND, A FOREIGN FOLK

TO WHOM THEY WERE ASSIGNED

MANY DEPLOYED TO THE ISLE OF HONG KONG

PIOR TO CHRISTMAS THAT YEAR

NEVER RETURNING HOME AGAIN

OR SPENDING FOUR YEARS IN FEAR

MANY HAD FOUGHT, AND OH WHAT A FIGHT

BRAVELY THEY FOUGHT, HARD AND LONG

ONLY TO FIN'LLY LAY DOWN THEIR GUNS

AND SING THE PRIS'NERS SONG

MANY MEN DIED ON THAT COLD CHRISTMAS DAY

FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM AND LIFE

UNDER GUNNED, AND OVER MANNED

HEROICALLY SPENDING THEIR LIVES

MANY HAD FOUGHT FROM THE WONG NEI CHONG GAP

TO THE FABLED GIN DRINKER'S LINE

AGAINST THE AGGRESSION OF HARD-HEARTE DMEN

IN DEFENCE OF THAT TINY ISLE

MANY REMAINED A PRIS'NER IN MIND

OF THE CRUELTY THEY HAD RECEIVED

TO LIVE OUT THEIR LIVES AS BEST THEY COULD

CONSTANTLY SEEKING RELIEF

MANY FORGOT, THE BATTLES OF OLD

HISTORY'S LOST TO THE YOUNG

BUT WE WILL REMEMBER THE FAMLY WE LOST

TO THE FLAMES AND THE BOMBS AND THE GUNS

Gone
