Rustling Up Some Courage
The Old West didn’t reward hesitation—it honored those who acted with purpose.
In dusty fields where wild winds blow,
A horse named Roper plotted low,
With mischief dancing in his eyes,
He longed to roam beneath the skies.
Each dawn would find him by the gate,
A clever spirit, filled with fate.
He’d nuzzle feeds then make a break,
To chase the sun for freedom’s sake.
Through trails and valleys, swift hed fly,
With hooves like thunder, echoing high.
He’d dart past ranchers, all in jest,
This crafty steed, a rogue at best.
As stars began to light the night,
Roper returned, heart full of flight.
With each escapade, a tale he spun,
A clever horse, forever young.
