AS MORNING BROKE ... I HAD STARTED MY RIDE

THIS TIME FAR PAST THE GREAT DIVIDE

TO A VALLEY KNOWN ONLY TO ME

NATURE AT ITS BEST ONLY FOR ME TO SEE

ON A BED OF GRASS I WATCH THE ANIMALS COME AND GO

SOME EVEN STOP TO GIVE ME A SHOW

SOFT CLOUDS DRIFT ACCROSS THE SKY

AS I WATCH THE BALLET OF BIRDS AS THEY FLY

I FOLLOW A LEAF FLOAT A  STREAM TO THE RIVER BELOW

TO SOON COMES THE TIME FOR ME TO GO

ON MY HORSE AND BACK OVER THE DIVIDE

THE MORNING WAKES ME TO END ANOTHER RIDE
