I am my present voice, 

and the man I am to be. 

To live and work by choice, 

has brought the world to me.

I am a lone star,

My dreams remaining are, 

my life already won.

I am a Texas cowboy,

Feeding each with joy,

I am a traveler, 

across the world I’ve been. 

A master and commander, 

life experiences all filled in.

I am a wisdom hunter, 

with skins on my account. 

At times with fearful thunder, 

in small and large amount.

I am an inspired student, 

a neophyte with wine.

with opportunities I find.

I am a story man,

From rancher to businessman, 

I am Murphy Goode.
