Stage Coach Stop

Painting by Bonnie Steinberg

"Let me live in my house by the side of the road

Where the race of men go by;

They are good, they are bad, they are weak,

They are strong, wise, foolish - so am I.

Then why should I sit in the scorner's seat

Or hurl the cynic's ban?

Let me live in my house by the side of the road

And be a friend to man. "
