My beloved Gaylon is once again riding horses, his life and his love. He was a true cowboy in the very essence of the word. He lived and breathed the cowboy ways.<br>I want to thank each and every one that has sent cards and private emails. I have answered most every email I have received to date. Your kind and caring words mean more than you will ever know. <br>I am so blessed and have been for the last 10 years to be a member of this "family" called the Daily Drool.<br>Thank you Nancy Gallagher for starting this wonderful list that has developed into such an important part of many, many lives.<br><br>In memory of my beloved Gaylon.<br><br> <div class="MsoNormal">Cowboy In Heaven<br> by <a href="http://www.christart.com/poet/John%20Walsh" target="_blank"><span class="yshortcuts">John Walsh</span></a> © 2005<br> <br> At the gates I met Saint Peter, but the gates were swinging doors<br> Inside the room looked like a old saloon, with sawdust on the floor<br> Through
the air played country music, I could hear my favorite song<br> Everyone I've ever loved and lost, was inside and sang along<br> I turned and looked at Peter, I said I just don't understand<br> He smiled at me so gently, than he reached out for my hand<br> He welcomed me to heaven; said your faith is what you see<br> This will be your new forever, then the angels sang to me<br> <br> <br> You're a cowboy in heaven; that's the way it's meant to be<br> You're a cowboy in heaven; go and see your family<br> Your life began the day you died; now giddy up and get inside<br> You're a cowboy in heaven; it's time to meet your destiny<br> <br> <br> As I walked in through those swinging doors, my heart was beating fast<br> Reminders every where's I looked, of the life that now has past<br> The life I lived, was the life I loved, where the Lord had assured every need<br> My hat and my horse, my boots and of course, the Good Book that I took time to read<br> Everyone inside had died,
yet today they all are livin<br> Singing songs and carrying on, like their sins have been forgiven<br> I turned back to look for Peter, he just smiled again and waived<br> Right then I knew, God's promise was true, and the life that I loved had been saved<br> <br> <br> <br> I'm a cowboy in heaven; like I always prayed to be<br> I'm a cowboy in heaven; still in awe at all I see<br> My life began the day I died, cause now here on the other side<br> I'm a cowboy in heaven; but why would God do this for me<br> <br> <br> The whole place got real quiet, until I heard somebody say<br> The spirit is upon us; let us all join hands and pray<br> Than suddenly in front of me, a vision has appeared<br> A man I'd never met before, in a robe, and with a beard<br> He told me He'd been watching, what a good job I had done<br> He put His arms around me, and He said "I Love You Son"<br> I've never felt such joy before, complete and utter bliss<br> I knew that I was home for sure, when Jesus
told me this<br> <br> <br> <br> You're a cowboy in heaven; that is what I chose for thee<br> You're a cowboy in heaven; where your soul is now set free<br> Your life began the day you died, and you'll walk along My side<br> You're a cowboy in heaven; because you believed in ME<br> You're a cowboy in heaven; because you believed in ME</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br></div> Cathi, Sam B.
