Kicking Up Dust on the Trail
The trail might be tough, but a cowboy always finds a way forward.
In the twilights gleam, the cowboy strayed,
Through dust and brush where wild things played.
A coyote laughed, with eyes a-light,
“My friend, you’ll trip if you don’t hold tight.”
“Now listen here, your boots look worn,”
Said the clever beast with a lopsided yawn.
“Trade ‘em for shoes that will let you glide,
You’ll outrun trouble–and take it in stride!”
With a grin, the cowboy quirked a brow,
“Next, might you share how to tame that cow?”
“Just offer her cake–she’s sweet and spry,
A laugh’s worth more than a rugged tie.”
As stars burst forth in the blanket sky,
The cowboy chuckled, letting worries fly.
With wisdom wrapped in a coyotes jest,
Adventure awaited, and he felt blessed.
