Ike Johnny

I had a wonderful visit some years ago At a place called Medicine Park Creek Where I met Ike Johnny, a Kiowa Indian We found a special place to meet The view outside the restaurant Was beautiful, serene and sweet As we visited we observed the Foot Bridge over Medicine Park Creek He was quite a man, this Ike Johnny was Ate well he said, throughout his many years A strong handsome man for 98 years old Of course, he’d had his share of sorrow and tears But he’d lived a good life and was raised well He fished the river and ate wild game His father-in-law was a famous Kiowa leader Hunting Horse was this wise man’s name I’ve learned since then to take advantage To gather knowledge I wouldn’t otherwise know When I get a chance to meet folks like Ike Johnny Because he was really quite an amazing fellow!
