Analysis of Cowboy dreams



Once upon time in the land of cowboy dreams

Little girls had hero's to protect from bad guy schemes

Each and every week she sits to watch his smile

Knowing he will rescue her in a little while,

Virgin hearts so innocent, as they try to twist her mind

All she does is wait and hope for hero's are so kind,

But her dreams turned into nightmares, when he was sadly gone

The only one she's ever loved, that would never do her wrong

But fairies came to find her and brought her love once more

For little kids can see them, where as adults shut the door

As long as she can feel him, and he can hold her hand

She can disappear to his heaven wonderland ,

No matter how her brain is lied to, and is so very bruised,

Don't matter how her body aches how badly its abused

for she has a special man that's always by her side

Now she wants to thank him as she no longer needs to hide,

When she looks back to those times of hurt and agony

That little girl who's loved him all her life is now set free!
