Free Man

I wrote this poem when I was still imprisoned by pain medications.

Free Man

If my horse should break his stride,
bury my horse by my side, for we both have fought and died.
We have been over hill and dale,
we have fought the fighting trail.
We have fought battle after battle,
and I pray for one more day in the saddle.
But if fate should break our stride,
bury my friend by my side.

Lord I pray, for one more day as a free man, Amen

                                                       William Han
                                                      April 17th,1864
                                                         54th Regiment

                                                           Written by,
                                                         Daniel Keith

Daniel, I really enjoyed this poem. My dad and I used to do a lot of riding, and I know how much he used to care for his horses. You remind me a lot of him.

Words from a Cowboys heart. Looks like the LORD...gave you many days, and you are free from the addictions
