Cowboy's Faith

Written by: Stanton K. Payne II

A young handsome cowboy
Rides across the country side
Through the woods.
Knowing there's nothing
But wildlife surrounding him.

He rides on through the trail
While he sees the nature scenes
As he endeavors the meaning of life.

He never has to fear.
He rides on with faith.
He finds so many interesting
Things in nature.
And he wondered why.

He stopped and rests for a while.
He looked at the stars
And wondered how the
Universe was created.

He set camp for the night
And lies under the stars.
He could clearly see how
Beautiful the stars are.
And he wondered why.

He sees so many beautiful
Things in nature.
He could clearly see
How things on Earth was created.

The young cowboy slept by the fire.
He slept sound through the night.
He never heard a thing.
Not even a coyote
Or a whisper of a wind.

He dreams of many beautiful
Things in the entire universe.
He dreams about nature.
His dreams are filled with
Unconditional love.
And he wondered why.

The next morning, he rose and
Saw a dove fly by and disappeared.
He knew it was the Holy Ghost
Watching over him.

He bowed down and prayed.
He asked for forgiveness and
He prayed for many precious things.

He felt something touched him
And it was heartwarming.
He knew his prayers have been answered.

He felt all the unconditional love
Coming from Heaven above.
He knew that Jesus has guided him
Through His path.

He sees the light.
It was brighter than the sun.
An angel approached him
With a message from God.
The angel spoke to him and disappeared.
The light disappears.

The young cowboy views
The nature scenes again.
He sees someone approaching
Him on horseback.
It's a young beautiful cowgirl.

She dismounted the horse and spoke to him.
She opened her bible and shared the gospel.
She showed him the meaning of life.
And he listened.

The young cowboy learned something new
By reading the bible with the young cowgirl.
He understood the meaning of life
And praised God.

He chatted with the young cowgirl
And got to know her.
They went horseback riding
And spent time together.

They like each other a lot
And fell in love.
They spent more time together.

The young cowboy found
His true love.
He felt more unconditional love
Coming from Heaven above.
He praised God for His perfect plan.

The couple were happy together
And they loved each other dearly.
They married each other
And had a happy marriage.

They had everything God provided them.
They lived a happy life and died in peace.
Their souls ascend to Heaven together.
They are with the Lord
And continues serving Him.
