Remembrance

In Memory of <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/10/16/build/local/48-cowboy.inc" target="_blank">Calvin Bohleen</a>.<br />n<br />n<br />n<br />nA Cowboy's Prayer<br />n<br />nO Lord, I've never lived where churches grow;<br />n I've loved creation better as it stood,<br />n That day You finished it, so long ago,<br />n And looked upon Your work and called it good.<br />n<br />nJust let me live my life as I've begun!<br />n And give me work that's open to the sky;<br />n Make me a partner of the wind and sun,<br />n And I won't ask a life that's soft and high.<br />n<br />nMake me as big and open as the plains;<br />n As honest as the horse between my knees;<br />n Clean as the wind that blows behind the rains;<br />n Free as the hawk that circles down the breeze.<br />n<br />nJust keep an eye on all that's done and said;<br />n Just right me sometimes when I turn aside;<br />n And guide me on the long, dim trail ahead;<br />n That stretches upward towards the Great Divide.<br />n<br />nAnonymous
