3. To let the cows out.

With not much grass found-
In New Mexico, straying cows are
purposely being led, to the neighbor’s
yard, where some can be found.

The grass had grown-
It certainly set the tone.
.
There was a time when a
crowd had come by-
But, as time passed, there
was no one left to cry.
.
The spot had been kept up
for so many years-
Visited often with so many tears.
.
Generations later, a new crowd
started to come by-
To visit their ancestors, is the
reason why.
.
To pull the weeds and to clean the
headstone-
To bring to life what had been
overgrown.
.
To celebrate those who had lived so
long ago-
To give their final resting place, a
sudden glow.
.
The grass had grown-
It certainly set the tone.

The grass was no longer stilled-
As the children ran through the field.

That $30 to $500 dollar fine-
Can put a family in a bind.

It was time to cut the lawn-
So, I woke up at the break of dawn.
.
But, first I had my choice of picks-
For out in the yard, there were many sticks.
.
And, after they were picked up, I began to mow-
As soon as I passed over it, it continued to grow.
.
Unfortunately, as the season moves along-
Something will not be right, as a matter of fact it will be wrong.
.
For the drought will travel along the ground-
And, many brown patches will be found.
