Ruth
She was a little princess, flaunting her curls and bows
Her mother always had her in pretty little clothes
She had the boys all wrapped ‘round her toes
Maybe somewhat spoilt, Heaven only knows
From “Tulsie” Town, life was rich I suppose
But Mom and Pop thought it besta goes
They loaded up, said goodbye to their woes
Their hopes, their dreams in the Colorados
They never made it, as the story goes
But found their purpose in helping those
The ones in need whether friends or foes
And gave new life to the Pueblos
The ranches they worked, where the rooster crows
Brought blisters and aches from their heads to their toes
They toiled in the soil, as the mighty wind blows
With dust in their throats and some in their nose
The plains were hard, where little grows
The winters were harsh and they nearly froze
Life was taught, by the seeds that were sowed
Growing through hardships and struggles I’m told
But with Ruth firmly planted, and weeds pruned with hoes
Mom and Pop led, down the straight and narrow rows
With a sprinkling of nurturing love, all in one large dose
Caused the flower to face the sun, and blossom as a rose
