THESE PRAIRIES BY CONNIE KALDOR

These prairies hold my childhood in a warm and sweet embrace

You can see it when I get here by the smile upon my face


(the open sky, the kildeer cry have left their tender trace)

These prairies hold my childhood in a warm and sweet embrace

Things moved slower then

I saw the bird foot traces on the trail

how the wind would sometimes eddy

saw the hawk upon the rail

There were cousins and bale stacks to defend

There was driving in a pickup down a road without a bend

These prairies hold my childhood in a warm and sweet embrace

You can see it when I get here by the smile upon my face

the open sky, the kildeer cry have left their tender trace

These prairies hold my childhood in a warm and sweet embrace


The taste of water from a well
drunk from a sealer jar

And the days stretched out forever
like the dust behind the car

There was the prairie grass

the wind my thoughts and me

and the kind of stars that set

a child’s imagination free

These prairies hold my childhood in a warm and sweet embrace

you can see it when I get here by the smile upon my face

The open sky the kildeer cry its left a tender trace

This prairie holds my childhood in a warm and sweet embrace

with gopher holes, and cinnamon rolls and bow your head for grace

This prairie holds my childhood in a warm and sweet embrace.
