I'm riding now a lonesome trail;
most of my pards are gone.
Will I live on for months or years,
or die before the dawn?
We never know just how much time
we have until the end,
so be the best that you can be,
and don't give up, my friend.
Those little tykes look up to you;
You mustn't let them down.
Upon your face, present a smile;
don't let them see a frown.
My body hurts; it's all worn out,
and it's no longer whole,
but could you see inside of me,
still happy is my soul.
I love this poem, Cowboy! Why have I never noticed it before? I am adding it to my favorites list!
