Billy the Kid Dash
(Memories of the day we remembered David Marsh)
It rained, oh how it rained,
But it didn’t spoil the day,
With spirits hardly dampened,
Air horns sent us on our way.
Relations, friends and strangers
Assembled with one mind,
Remembering brave soldiers
Fighting for mankind.
People from all corners
Turned out in full force,
A sight to see, both young and old,
Each one stayed the course.
The day was for remembering,
To register concern,
For one of far too many
Destined never to return.
Though he can’t be here,
We’ll accomplish with panache,
The running, riding, walking, paddling
Billy the Kid Dash.
