I wish you happiness and no more distress,
I wish you could be free.
I wish you could ride with me and hide,
From all your misery.
Away from the din, bury your sin,
Oh, all the things you’d see.
Just step outside, swallow your pride,
Take my hand, and follow me.
Where the cougar roars and the eagles soar,
On the light summers breeze.
The meadowlarks sing, the echoes ring,
A life that’s filled with ease.
You can find peace, get your release,
If you’d ride out with me today,
The mountains, they shine like the holiest of shrines,
It will take your breath away.
The life that you seek is just up the Peaks,
I can show you where it lies.
We’ll climb the face, find the perfect place,
To look off across the Divide.
I’ll take you there, lay down your cares,
Pick up your saddle and ride,
Beside me you’d see how great life could be,
If you’d just step outside.
The Medicine Wheel would give you the feel,
Of people from long ago,
And the Big Horns sit storming ‘cross the plains of Wyoming,
The sight can rattle the soul.
I know of places, wild, untamed spaces,
From Wyoming to New Mexico.
We could tame rivers, be takers not givers,
From Utah to Colorado.
I’ll take you there, just lay down your cares,
Come on, saddle up, let’s ride.
The whole world is waiting, it’s ours for the taking,
If only you’d step outside.

LOL, Bev, I know this is pretty out of character for me. I'm not your basic mush kitten.
Chuck can resist anything that's not in his plan. He's resisting this pretty dang good. I thought sure it would get his attention, but I guess not. . . Jackie
Hey Jackie, you gone all sentimental and mushy on me? Geesh, where did all that hardness go. Once bounce off a horse and your brain turns into soup. ~~laughing hard~~
Awwwww, Jackie this is so sweet. It would actually make one really sweet C&W song. Maybe Reba M can sing it for you. How can Chuck resist such beautiful sentiments.
LOL, David. This one did turn out really nice, didn't it? I'm hoping that the effects of the concussion stay around and I just get rid of the headache and funny vision. I don't know that telling a publisher that getting a concussion made me a better writer would be a good idea, though. Jackie
If this is the result of a concussion, I suggest you go do it again! Heehee... just kidding, but this is wonderful! Actually, I think I like it more than anything else you've showed us here. You, GO, girl! Love it!
Welcome !
