Trusting the Steady Steed

A cowboy’s trust in his horse is as deep as the canyons they ride.

In the deserts heart, where the junipers sway,
Cowboys laugh at how sagebrush can play.
With a twist of their hats and a wink of their eye,
They spin tales of cactus, where tumbleweeds fly.

A rusty spur jingle brings memories awake,
Of a horse who was stubborn, yet never could shake.
They giggle at shadows that dance in the sun,
For even the old ghosts find mirth in their fun.

By the campfires glow, with a grin on his face,
One tells of a rattler who lost in a race.
They chuckle and nudge, as the flames leap and sigh,
For humor is found where the wild winds blow high.

So raise up a toast to the life that they lead,
Where laughter runs wild like a mustangs stampede.
In the whispers of junipers, secrets are spun,
And the heart of a cowboy is never outdone.
