THE COWBOY AND THE PARSON
Monday morning, the widow Blies
entered the livery stable.
With a tear in her eyes.
She handed the young man
her dead son's Bible.
“Last night, to sleep I could not go.
My son died a little over a year ago,
I don't have much to remember him by
but as a brand new Christian,
he'd want you to have your own Bible.
I think he'd want you to have the one
he carried with him everyday.”
The Cowboy did not know what to say.
He thanked her and for him she did pray.
After she left, he couldn't help but think
about how great a sacrifice this must be
for this woman whom he barely knew.
She reminded him of his own mother
You could see God's love in her very eyes.
