out at the ranch the sky is like a big blue blanket that can cover every inch of you... the kind your head and toes don't have to fight over.
out at the ranch there are laps for sitting and books for reading.
there are adventures for the taking....
out at the ranch there are cowboys, big and little, everywhere you look....
except in our car.... no cowboys there.
out at the ranch there are roots running deep into this earth under our feet
well loved cheeks,
in these well loved houses,
on this well loved land....
out at the ranch there is a miles long 'driveway'
that takes you pass the promise of new friends,
new toys,
and most definitely... a new view.
out at the ranch... there is a sentry at the gate. an old oak stands and reminds you
"next time, don't take so long gettin' yourself back. "
