Top Hand

Where honor meets leather
And the leather meets hides
These two come together
As top hands choose sides

Some come to seek glory
While others skilled trade
And the time tells their story
Sorts out what’s been made

See cowboys no noun
It’s pure action for sure
Some head for soft town
But for this kind no cure

In the braiding of tools
Or fine arc of that rope
Cowboys suffer no fools
In a life built from hope

When the stuff hits the fan
And you think there’s no way
There you’ll find the top hands
They’ll ride deep thru that fray

These knights of the saddle
Are made tough by the fire
Every day long hard battle
That reveals their desire

And it aint how they ride
With a crowd on their feet
Its that fire down inside
That burns loyal and deep

For those outfits that count
Choose the loyal but tough
As is made new great mounts
From the young and the rough

For these men bear a name
Measured out by their sand
For in this cowboys game
Called just simply top hand

Spoken like a true cowboy
i have yet to meet one
i admire the horse whispering and caring for them
Horses are such beautiful animals
I never knew cowboys had so much pride within
your words speak so much

Well done !!
