Sunlight and Shadows


Old West

Sunrise, sunset in the west

Prairie days of summer’s best

Cattle wrangling morn til night

Lay around the fire to rest

Short grass, tall grass in the wind

Dry dust rising round the bend

Underneath wide open skies

Upward, outward freedom send

Treasured, carefree nights in town

Lively dances, fiddle sound

Neighbors bonded near and far

Toughest friendships here are found
