The Cattleman

Proud stands the Cattleman, 

As he goes about his day, 

Confident in his perspective, 

That the day will go his way.

*

Astride his trusted chestnut steed,

The Cattleman survey’s his herd,

Mindful of each within his domain,

Staying true to his thought and word.

*

As life evolves around him,

He adapts within his stride,

Yet truth within himself he cannot waiver,

Continuing on each step with pride.

*

Always drawn out to nature, 

Never delving longer than necessary inside,

From town to farm and home again,

The Cattleman balances his ride. 
*

Telling his endless stories till his end,

To those whom he entrusts to impart his word,

Till evolution forces him onward,

Then into the sunset his spirit rides one last time…

from the physical, ‘Tis unfurled.
