Rambling Cowgirl

I am known as the rambling cowgirl
out here on the rustic trails.
The smell of supper cooking wafts
through the canyon as I make my way back
to my campsite and the chuck wagon.
My appetite gets the best of me
and I eat two bowls of red beans
that had small pieces of smoked bacon
mixed in.
The stars twinkle so bright as I roll my
saddle blanket into a pillow.
My horse, Sugarfoot, snorts as coyotes start to howl
in the distance.
Tomorrow will be another day
on the open range, in the life of
this rambling cowgirl.
