Big Sky

Someday, after you graduate, I want to go somewhere with you.
I want to go way out west, to that spot where the mountains meet the grass, and the stars touch the blacktop.
I want to kiss you there, kiss you below that breathtaking big sky, with every star twinkling above.
Maybe I will even reach out and pull one of those stars down, and give it to you.
I want to lay you down, and hold you tight, with a dazzling sunset casting shadows across the land.
I would give all I have to see tears of joy roll down your face, while an Eagle soars overhead.
I’ll be your freedom, take my hand, we will go see amazing places and do amazing things.
We’ll climb a mountain, and when we reach the top, we will sing a joyous love song that echoes across the land for all to hear.
We could canoe down the most pristine forgotton river, and camp out under the big sky, with nothing else around us but a million sounds of nature.
So let’s go.
Join me, and come see the big sky.
