the cowboy way

A chapter in the book Writings From the Heart

old cowboys


The end of this relationship was somewhat sad and cold
What made it end so sudden was, the cowboy just got old
She was younger by a decade her life was riding high
The cowboy liked his ranchland life and had to pick a side

The trials and tribulations that make us who we are
The teaching from our fathers that carry us this far
The heartaches we must carry to make it day by day
The love from that woman, he lost along the way

Rich houses and the finer side was not what he had planned
Between the working days and late, late nights her life,so insane
Both tried to close that gap in life but came from different worlds
A logical man his simple life, the ranch was all he had

The trials and tribulations that make us who we are
The teaching from our fathers that carry us this far
The heartaches we must carry to make it day by day
The love from that woman, he lost along the way
