A Cowboy Is
He is a young boy turned man before his time
He is someone with a dream
Who shows compassion for his work
He wakes before dawn and drinks his coffee without cream
Who along his journey always finds an adventure
He is a cowboy at heart
Riding in the saddle
Eating meals over open fire
Watching his cattle
He is trying to make a dime
Leaving everything behind
Meeting new faces
He is genuine and heartfelt
He is neither a lover or a fighter
He is one with the land
He gives everything to the land
His soul and his life
He eats, sleeps, rides, and will die on the land
He is consumed by the land
He is a cowboy and will always be classified as a cowboy
With his cowboy hat and wrangler jeans hidden by his brown duster
Seated upon on an iron horse
I look at him and say to myself "I wish i could be like him- free"
