 Poems by The Old Cowboy

To All



                              
               Winter 1776 the year of our Lord
               Brave men took up musket and sword
               Ready to die they answered the call
               Rallying for freedom one and all
              
               Unloyal and traitors to the Crown
               Were the words the British spread around
               With faith in God and a strong will
          For freedom men gave their lives at Bunker Hill

               Cold of winter short of food and shot
               The Patriots held true to their chosen lot
               English Generals the best of their time
               Could not read freedoms signs

               Gathering of heroes like never before
               Stood and fought in the Revolutionary War
               The bells of Liberty rang loud and clear
               Freedom for our country was near

               With courage they carried the battle
               On foot and from the saddle
               Men rode and stood side by side
               Thousands for the beliefs died

               Those brave fathers from our past
               Who were willing to die to the last
               What was won and proclaimed back then
               Is rights and freedom for all men
                                                    Edwin J. Smith
