Adam Arneson is a special education teacher by day and a bull rider when he’s got the nerve.
Editor’s note: At Rue Scribe, we think the two occupations sort of complement one another.
A constant bout in my mind.
Do I watch or should I ride?
Anytime that I say no,
There’s something missing in my soul.
Every time that I say yes,
I put myself through this stress.
It’s me and God all the way,
But positive thoughts sometimes stray.
It’s not about what’s in the end,
I just want to nod my head.
One boot to the left – one to the right,
No more mind games – not tonight.
Here we are – no place to hide,
Others can watch – I will ride.
