Endurance

There is no good news here.

Cept that Hugh is alive.


Thanks to Dusty and 3Gunn

Buckle'n down into the long ride.


They collected all they would need from the bakery 'n doc.

And rode fast 'n hard... they didn't stop.


From the pasture to the front steps

Daisy pulled her man home

And Dusty and the Sheriff spent half a day on the road.


When the men got there

They got Hugh in his bed


The Sheriff used Miss Myna's muffins

And sewed him up with thread.


Dixie made soup, to try 'n help Hugh sleep.

But we all could see, his wounds were more than skin deep.


Yesterday, AJ 'n Loren told Dixie

That they planned to take

Hugh a basket of food

And flowers so pretty.


Quickly! Dixie sent Sarah Rose to the ranch with a note

Hope' 'n Dusty could save Hugh's dignity.


The note told Dusty what was in store

And asked him to dress Hugh and get him on the porch.


It said the forge could get by for one more day.

With the coal that was left

She could still fashion shoes

So, at the ranch, she asked him to stay.


No word from Washington,

No word from Virginia,

But Dixie knows she can't

Give into hysteria.
