works of words

I am part of this land,
I have known it, walked it, ridden on it all of my life.

My ancestors have farmed, ranched, railed and ruled it.

I have learned to see it more and
hear it more clearly.

I am part of this land.

I have watched men destroy it.

I have talked to the Pioneers
and I have heard their stories,

I hope I can tell them again to others.

Tell others, won’t you; tell them what you know it’s how we learn and  grow!
