Toward a Dream by Bernard Price

 

The cowgirl works so hard

To make make her place out west,

No matter what's involved

Will always do her best.

 

She often rides in rodeos

Of prizes gets her share,

The popularity and fame

Makes her known most everywhere.

 

Her favorite thing's bronc riding

That's where her talent lies,

No matter how that bronco bucks

To stay on board she tries.

 

But if by chance she's thrown

The clowns will play their role,

Protecting her from harm

Cowgirl's safety is their goal.

 

For years she keeps on going

Toward a dream she's always known,

To have a working cattle ranch

That she can call her own.

 

Where she can ride the range

And live her chosen life,

Facing all that comes along

Even storm and strife.

 

All the chores of ranching

Don't faze her that's for sure,

Can turn a hand to anything

That helps her to endure.

 

When that blessed day arrives

And she's riding through the gate,

The feeling that she gets

Says, "It was worth the wait."
