A Few Times like This

Art by R. S. Riddick
I’m happy to say, as a kid I knew,
A few times like this, skies wide and blue.
Different hat, a dog at my side,
A horse beneath me, with nowhere to hide.

The world stretched open, quiet and grand,
With reins in my grip and dreams in my hand.
No rush, no noise, just hoofbeats’ song,
The sense of right where I belong.

I can still feel it, that gentle thrill,
The peace that held the air so still.
Exhilaration, pure and light,
A memory etched in morning light.

Different times, but the feeling remains
Freedom’s whisper across open plains.
Just a kid, yet knowing this bliss,
I’m happy to say, I’ve known times like this.
