the old black stetson hangs on the wall
boots, battered and worn lay below
a cherished picture,displayed with pride
love of this man would always show
a tired old cowboy was taken away
to heaven as his final resting place
hearts broken, tears wept by all
leaving nothing but an empty space
time passed, grass covered the grave
words spoken, tears swelled inside
memories we will no longer make
for together, that was our very last ride
body goes weak, heartbroken and alone,
clouds begin to boil , trees begin to swirl
sudden calmness, as I hear the soft spoken words
daddy's here, you will always be safe my lil cowgirl
safe,for I am always near,
here is where I will always be
with a heart of gold, yet tough as steel
take pride my little cowgirl, you are just like me. .
