In Search of a Homestead
by James BlaylockIn Search of a Homestead
he rode upon the hills
as the sun beat down,
his beast was thirsty
and his back ached...
no one ever said being a
cowboy was gonna be easy
but still he journeyed
even futher outward
because somewhere
was the perfect land
and his family was waiting
for him to lay his claim to it

| Posted by George Hoerner on 03/22/11 at 05:26 PM I like this James. It brings back memories of the wide open west in Wyoming which I left a couple years ago. But we are taking a camping trip leaving on the 29th. We'll be going thru Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona to start with. I know we'll be in parts of Utah and may just get back to Wyoming by June. |
