dear daddy & mommy.
& when u decide to take me to the city,
this sheltered cowgirl.
& when u bring me to beautiful book stores.
filled with adventure,
filled with romantic ideas.
& when u bring me to village ice cream.
you tell me to get a double scoop of chocolate.
& when i walk in between you, & hold your hands, i am so thankful for you. you are my friends.
you are my favourite parents. ever.
& while we walk i let my head fall back
& i watch the skyscrapers & towers,
& this little girl feels in awe of mankind.
in awe of the city.
the lights along the narrow streets,
lined with high brick walls.
the rich stores. the rich everything.
this is a different land then fishburn.
a different life.
a different world.
Jesus this city is beautiful.
& i love it.
but i thank you, with all my heart,
for the country.
for the horses running free across hills
& mountains.
for the sky so big it swallows hearts.
for the miles & miles of space, where humans don't go.
for that Jesus, i thank you.
