Like he used to do...

I'll never forget him...
Mending the fence or chopping the wood.
He would do the things that I never could.
But now that he's gone...
The time is past due.
To feed the horses and make the stew...
And brand the cows like he used to do.
He had these old boots, always covered in dew,
And every morning after breakfast, he'd shine them all new.
But the shine has worn off, and the time is past due,
To feed his old horses... and make me his stew.
And to brand the cows, like he used to do.
The barnyard is dusty, as I sit in the hay,
And old besty says hi, like he did each day.
She nuzzles my shoulder and and pats down my hair,
And reminds me I'm wishing, that he could be here.
The tractor won't start, on a cold winter day,
And I'm miss him more, when I hear his voice say,
Let off of the choke just a little bit hun,
Then she fires right up, and soon the fields done.
Now I sit in my rocker, to watch the falling light,
Now I climb into bed, to spend another lonely night.
But his spots still warm, like it always used to be,
And I can feel his arms, wrapped tight around me.
And although in my heart I never want it to end,
Somewhere out there I've got fences to mend.
I've got horses to feed, and some coffee to brue,
And it's sad when I pour one cup, not two.
I put a pot on the stove, and I start me his stew,
I've got cows to brand, like he used to do.
Cause I love this land, like we used to do.
Cause I love that man, and he loves me too.

With Equescent thoughts...
