Searching far and wide

Encircling landscape

Riding each morning

Cowboy’s day takes shape

Working ‘til sunset

Riding saddleback

Fulfilling life’s dream

Cowboy’s tasks unpack

Tracking each stray steer

Bringing safely back

Riding in cold rain

Cowboy’s small payback

Earning little pay

Tasting land’s treasures

Riding hard saddle

Cowboy’s few pleasures

Living with toughness

Facing shortcomings

Riding treeless range

Cowboy’s homecoming
