Heaven's Tick : Cowboy Poetry

written by Poet : oldhoppy26


 

Oh, the sun and moon are tickin'

In the nighttime western skies—

A man's got a lot of ridin'

Till that final day he dies.

 

He rides his ranch a wonderin'

Just what all this days will bring—

Ponderin' all his finances

Till he hears the lone wolf sing.

 

He reckons it's been a good life

And he would have changed no part—

And remembers those before him

That brings sadness to his heart.

 

Oh, the sun and moon are tickin'

And he hears that earthly chime—

He only wishes he'd done more

With that thing that's known as time.
