Excellent Growing up in the country Growing g up country by bonespur Childhood writing prompt entry

Growing up country My real childhood, at least , what I can remember Was with my step father, a bonafide cowboy, I grew up on a 14,000 acre cattle ranch My favorite horse, and my dog, were my greatest toys. I was schooled in hard work, and perseverance And I got paid every night at the dinner table I pretty much got everything I ever wanted A no nonsense approach kept me ready and able. I worked hard to prove myself And somehow make my father proud of me Although I would never actually hear it I know he was proud of the “tomboy” he made of me I wouldn’t change my childhood for anything It’s the reason, I’m who I am, today I feel blessed God chose this particular childhood for myself It was a gift from above, as daddy would say       Writing Prompt Write a rhyming poem about your childhood.
