ride down, ride down, down rocky ridge into wide valley where flows the Ninnescah waters birthed in winter's snow then weaned in April's thaw 'cross Kansas plains in eddied sally flows swift and clear the Ninnescah ride through, ride through through blue-stemmed grass on hidden trail where long ago the Kiowa rode down to Ninnescah at river's bend lone cottonwood stands guard o'er water's flow in canopy of ancient tree sounds forth the blackbird's caw, ride down, ride down ride down to current's edge on hidden trail in blue-stemmed draw ride down, ride down to Ninnescah |

Thank you sir. Between the last of the snow flakes, you and the history of Kansas bring spring to the fore. I do hope all is well with you. |

"at river's bend lone cottonwood stands guard o'er water's flow in canopy of ancient tree sounds forth the blackbird's caw" You've taken us by the hand and led us down, to Ninnescah. Your words let us breathe the essence of nature, allowing us to experience a spiritual moment. |
