Kicking Up Dust on the Trail
The trail might be tough, but a cowboy always finds a way forward.
Beneath a twilight sky, the fire flickers,
Its embers dance like spirits in the night,
Around the blaze, old friends share their snickers,
As leathered hands prepare for mornings fight.
With every brand, a bond is deepened,
The cattle low, as smoke begins to rise,
In shared resolve, the promises are steepened,
Their laughter melds with stars that fill the skies.
The scent of sweat and ash, a brother™s seal,
Each mark, a story etched in rugged hides,
Through trials faced, they™ve forged a common wheel,
In every spark, a legacy abides.
As dawn breaks softly, painting hills aglow,
These cowboys ride with courage in their bones,
With hearts ablaze from that branding fire™s glow,
They carry kinship forged in flames, their own.
