Joe Inka Poet Rhyme

A Cowboy Is

A cowboy is a hardened soul
When viewed by strangers eyes
A mind of honor and fortitude
A cowboy never cries

A cowboy lives with purpose, clear
His spirit can't be quelled
No hardship on Earth can take his pride
Though he rides to the edges of Hell

The cowboy is really a family man
Though affection he rarely shows
His daily toil is driven by love
and his family surely knows

A cowboy lives by a simple code
That city folk often can't see
But if you want to learn what life is about
A cowboy is something to be.

Carolyn Devonshire March 3, 2011 at 8:29 AM I do admire the cowboy lifestyle, Joe. Simplicity and a chance to enjoy nature. Their families must underrstand that he loves them, even if he is tired when he returns home. Excellent entry for the Cowboy contest and I wish you success! Love, Carolyn
