Cowboy Poetry and Western Verse
A Westerner
By William Guthrie
A Westerner finds great pleasure
in most everything they see;
the deserts and the mountains,
both in perfect harmony.
They like to watch the eagles fly,
see the daylight turn to dark;
watch the moon rise through the tree tops
and hear an old coyote bark.
Their anger only rises when
fools try to rule the day
and change Mother Nature's plan,
thinking their's the better way.
They're at home with life and nature,
with the beauties and the beasts.
They find go greater pleasure
in bigger, or, in least.
Their hands may be tough and callused,
but their heart is soft and pure.
They bid nobody evil
and their words are straight and sure.
They believe in truth and justice,
the sureness of another's word,
the innocence of a child;
the serenity of a grazing herd.
A westerner dreams simple dreams
of living free and right,
not needing fads and fancy things
to make their life worthwhile;
Just to see a wild mustang roam
and the dawning of a brand new day,
a good job worth it's doing
that's more than ample pay.
