A Cowboy's Reward

(a song)

Full Moon, and silvery star light

Set the stage, for natures delight.

Coyote calls, across the prairie,

In return, one cries back.

Cowboy’s fire, wains in the distance.

Evening sky,  turns to black.

 

Full Moon,  glorious sunrise.

Share a sky, a few, seconds flat.

Pony’s pace, is slow and easy,

His mind,  set to his task.

  

Full moon, and open spaces,

Fill his heart, with treasures fair.

Full moon with the sun’s setting

A cowboys reward,

For a hard,  days ride.

Oh Cherrie is there no end to the range of talent you have? Songs as well! Well I raed this three times and on the third I was lying down in the desert with The Three Amigos singing this. Coyotes Ponies Sunset Prairie It was all there. I played the guitar and Oh how we sung!!! No Owls? Well we cannot have everything. You are sooooo lucky having your life, ranch and PC. Done well you Tulsa Night Cop!

I liked this alot ... I've written a couple of cowboy poems ... thought this was a beautiful piece and works well as a song ..nice job on this..

This is filled with beautiful pitures, PERECT for lullabys.
Lullabys are used to "lull" children to sleep. Young children can picture
exactly what the words say, so simplicity is key, whilst making it visual.
You have done just that which is a hard task to manage.
Rhyming in songs when thinking of all the things one needs to think off, is hard to remember. So usually we use every second line a rhyme for a lullabye...or something along those lines, make yourself a rule. I think you should consider putting this to music and perhaps selling it to a childrens music mix cd, childrens show ect.
You certainly have a nack for this it seems, Including the land you know so well made it more fun to read.
Great job

What a great depiction of the unsung workers who make it possible for us to feed daily... very unappreciated so this was a nice dedication.
