Tribute to A Cowboy
Sadly Missed, Always Remembered, Forever Loved I'm sure God has a ranch in Heaven A place for cowboys to call home With dusty trails and deep passes Where cows and horses freely roam I picture you up on a ledge Gazing at the draws below Leaning forward with your Thirty X Stetson hat pulled way down low I can 'bout hear the leather creaking When your gelding switches feet Your spurs softly jingle in the wind Your rope's tied on and coiled neat There is contentment on your face You're happy, but I can't pretend, Though I'm glad you've made God's journey, That I can truly comprehend In my earthly ways I question The reasons God took you away I guess the timing was exactly right To enter Heaven on that day The only comfort I have found That puts my grief to rest Is that God only takes the top hands Because His crew's the very best We still cry and we sure miss you And all the things that might have been But God needed one more cowboy And He felt you'd fit right in So He sent down all His ranch hands An extra horse stood at their side Then he softly whispered to you "Saddle up, my friend, let's ride" |
