He rode his horse 'cross the plains wild and free Toward that special place where mountains rise He owed no man, the land was his to see It was enough, 'til he recalled her eyes She'd been sixteen and he had found first love They talked and laughed and gazed at glittered skies While he held her hand and thanked God above The world was his - he marveled at its size Then she was gone, she had just slipped away And he was left alone among the cows He still owned the world and the light of day - He held it close with all the here's and now's Mountains rose and he whistled in surprise It was enough 'til he recalled her eyes September 11, 2016
