Simple Prayer
A Cowboy one day
rode high on a hill
To ask the Lord,
if it be his will,
To send him
a helpmate
strong & gentle
pretty as wildflowers
that bloom every spring
yet strong as the hawk
with the wind ‘neath its wing
Now the Lord heard his prayer
and gave it plenty of thought
then searched throughout heaven
‘til he found the angel he sought
Of denim & lace
her wings were made
‘round her all creatures gathered
He called her to the throne
and laid out his plan
that Cowboy would not be alone
Now together they ride
side by side day & night
Cowboy & his Angel
what a beautiful sight
