Blue-eyed boy blasts off from breakfast like a quail on a rail Collie dog leaps on board and they’re off across the prairie barely touching the tops of hills Sun gives warmth or cloud gives shade all depending on his whim birds and rocks and swaying grass everything living embraces him Burrs don’t stick and thorns don’t prick even fences, joining in the play happily turn their barbs away Floating along on the wings of four not long now till they slam that door

Author, about age 4, on the Saskatchewan ranch
