In loving memory of

Randy Tribitt

March 15, 1950 - July 4, 2004

 

Sadly missed, always remembered

 

 

I'm sure God has a ranch in Heaven

A place for cowboys to call home

With dusty trails and deep passes

Where cows and horses freely roam

 

I picture you up on a ledge

Gazing at the draws below

Leaning forward with your Thirty X

Stetson hat pulled way down low

 

I can 'bout hear the leather creaking

When your gelding switches feet

Your spurs softly jingle in the wind

Your rope's tied on and coiled neat

 

There is contentment on your face

You're happy, but I can't pretend,

Though I'm glad you've made God's journey,

That I can truly comprehend

 

In my earthly ways I question

The reasons God took you away

I guess the timing was exactly right

To enter Heaven on that day

 

The only comfort I have found

That puts my grief to rest

Is that God only takes the top hands

Because His crew's the very best

 

We still cry and we sure miss you

And all the things that might have been

But God needed one more cowboy

And He felt you'd fit right in

 

So He sent down all His ranch hands

An extra horse stood at their side

Then he softly whispered to you

"Saddle up, my friend, let's ride"
