THE COWBOYS PRAYER
,By BADGER CLARKl

By BADGER CLARkl Oh Lord I've never lived where churches grow. love creation better as f stood That day you finished it 50 long ago. And looked upon your work and called it good know that others find you in the light
 That filters down through tinted window panes. And vet seem 10 fcel you near to night
 n this dim quiet starlight on th- plain, thank you Lord. that am placed so we'll
 That you have made my freedom 50 complete That i'm no slave of whistle clock or bell Or week eyed prisoner Of wall or street Just let me live my fife as | begun. And give me work that's open to the sky: Make me partner Of the wind and sun.
 And won't ask fife that's soft
 or high Le; me be easy on the man that's And mase me square and generous with all: I'm careless sometimes. Lord. when I'm in town. But never let them say I'm mean or small. Make me as big and open as the plains. As honest as the horse between my knees. Clean as the wind that blows behind the rains. Free as the hawk that circles down inc breeze Forgive me. Lord when sometimes | forget You understand the reasons that are hid You know the little things that gall and fret Ton know me better than my mother did. Just keep an eye on all that's done and said. Just right me sometimes when turn aside And guide me on the long. dim trail ahead That stretches down toward the Great Divide.
