Analysis of The Rancher's Wife
The life of a rancher's wife is simple and sweet.
She is the one who holds everything together and keeps everything tidy and neat.
The rancher's wife is the chain that binds,
keeping her family together for all time.
She supports, she works, she gives her love,
and each day, she thanks the Lord above.
She counts her blessings in her heart,
praying that they will never part.
Through all the good times and the bad,
the rancher's wife will always stand.
A heart of gold and calloused hands,
the rancher's wife stands by her man.
To love, to honor, to cherish these times,
she is the tie that helps keep the bind.
So very loved is the rancher's wife,
for the love of a woman with a gentle soul,
helps the rancher to live a happy, prosperous life.
