A Cowboy's Last Ride

by Ann Stareyes   Mar 10, 2005


Saddle up, Cowboy
This was truly your life
Loving the rodeo circuit and horses
And always loving to ride.

You sat tall in that saddle
And you rode so well
You were one true Cowboy
This Anyone could tell.

Your Cowboy hat and buckle
You wore it with pride
Those Cowboy boots
Walked many a mile.

Now your life on earth is over
God has plans for you
So saddle up Cowboy
This will be a journey for you.

God will lead you up to heaven
And he will ride at your side
So once again, saddle up Cowboy
It's time for that final ride.

(Dedicated to my dear friend that passed away March 6th 2005, Bobby West)

    I think that when you write from the heart it is one of the most difficult things to do, I certainly cannot. But you tackled it so beautifully.

    I really enjoyed it and I agree with everyone, what a great dedication.

    Thank you for you kind words on my recent poem 'Forbidden Love'

    Kisses
