Dan Kearley Poet Rhyme

Cowboy Train To Heaven

Standing all alone,
 at the edge of time.
With no where left to fall,
 and no where else to climb.

I feel like I'm standing
 back at the end of the line.
Of that soul collecting train
 that I missed the very first time.

It don't matter much to me you see,
 I'm just going to stand right here and wait.
For that golden train to pull in,
 that's taken me to the pearly gates.

When that train pulls out
 your going to hear me yell.
As I'm leaving this here place
 that is now a man made hell.

Where all the politics and corruption,
 of this once great and mighty place.
Turned into need and greed
 that just fills me with disgrace.

Now I am far from perfect,
God knows that is true.
But, I'm praying for forgiveness,
 and I suggest, that you do too.

So when that train pulls in
 to take us from this man made hell.
Grab the seat right next to me
 and we can both then yell!

YEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAA!!!
