A Cowboy's Christmas Prayer Set
10 Cards & Envelopes
Cowboy's don't
necessarily get off of work on Christmas, but the soul is never warmer than on
that cold, December Morning. Jack Sorenson captures the essence of things for
Cowboy Christmas with this one. We think the hand here looks a lot like R.W.
Hampton...let's hope both R-Dub and Jack take that as a complement.
This boxed set contains ten identical cards and fitted envelopes. The inside is printed with S. Omar Barker's "A Cowboy's Christmas Prayer" on the left flap, which reads as follows:
I ain't much good at prayin', and you may not know me, Lord-
I ain't much seen in churches where they preach The Holy Word,
But You may have observed me out here on the lonely plains,
A-lookin' after cattle, feelin' thankful when it rains,
Admirin' Thy great handiwork, the miracle of grass,
Aware of Thy kind spirit in the way it comes to pass
That hired men on horseback and the livestock that we tend
Can look up at the stars at night and know we've got a Friend.
So here's ol' Christmas comin' on, remindin' us again
Of Him whose coming brought good will into the hearts of men.
A Cowboy ain't no preacher, Lord, but if You'll hear my prayer,
I'll ask as good as we have got for all men everywhere.
Don't let no hearts be bitter, Lord; don't let no child be cold/
Make easy beds for them that's sick, and them that's weak and old.
Let kindness bless the trail we ride, no matter what we're after,
And sorter keep us on Your side, in tears as well as laughter.
I've seen old cows a-starvin', and it ain't no happy sight;
Please don't leave no one hungry, Lord, on Thy good Christmas night-
No man, no child, no woman, and no critter on four feet-
I'll aim to do my best to help You find 'em chuck to eat.
I'm just a sinful cowpoke, Lord, - ain't got no business prayin' -
But still I hope You'll ketch a word or two of what I'm sayin':
We speak of Merry Christmas, Lord - I reckon You'll agree
There ain't no Merry Christmas for nobody that ain't free.
So one thing more I'll ask You, Lord: just help us what You can
To save some seeds of freedom for the future sons of man!
The right inside flap bears the following salutation:
Wishing You a Most Blessed
Christmas Season
