In Memory
To my loving wife Shirley, who worked ceaselessly as my editor and partner to give children the greatest joy imaginable.
He was only thirteen
when his house was destroyed.
Ben lost both his parents
which left a big void.
The Indians attacking
were howling and hooting.
As the boy and his dog
saw them all looting.
Ben ran to the hideout
his father had planned.
Then watched the wild Indians
torch most of his land.
The ranch had been home
since the day he was born,
But his house was now lost
And how he would mourn.
His dog and a horse
were also alive.
So chances were good
they all would survive.
He sat in the saddle
with the dog at his side.
And headed straight west
with a star as his guide.
