The Barkley Way of Life

by Leona (Heathisforme)

 

 

Ranch life is hard work

But the brothers loved it

They rarely had time to sit

But when they did, they played hard.

 

They branded, fenced and chased cattle

All day they sat on their mount

While the cattle they count

All the time, loving the land.

 

The land was dusty and dry

Eating away at their very core.

But still wanting more

From dawn to dusk, the work is never done.

 

Adventures they all have had

From mines to lumber camps

To family mishaps and saddle tramps

They enjoyed each other and their lives.

 

In whatever they did

They did it with pride

The ranch land they did ride

And the family they did love.
