Prayer in My Pocket Dust on my face A scratchy prayer in my pocket To hold me till Monday Desert hot, and cold at night Samuel Colt by my side And the Bible in my mind Keeps me safe from The rattlers at my feet Trying hard to remember The last words of the preacher As he played his fifth ace Didn’t die easy, scared as hell The prayer in my pocket Keeps falling down through The hole in my broken soul As I look for lights on the horizon Dust on my face Samuel Colt cocked by my side Looking for neon lights Maybe turn myself in. 2010 © Dayvid Graybill

Ya could've been a cowboy but the neon lights did you in. Well, that and the one hole preacher assuming you were a good shot. Enjoyed muchly. Patrick

Awesome sketch of the Old West! It's dusty and time-worn poetry that illustrates Prayer in My Pocket on the pulp cover, Day! Be well.

Love and Colt brass,

PRAYER...NOT UNTIL WE ACCEPT THE LORD AS PERSONAL SAVIOR, DO WE BEGIN TO LEARN HOW POWERFUL IS THIS WEAPON OF EVERY CHRISTIAN. THANKS FOR SHARING THIS TIMELY MESSAGE. BLESSINGS AND LOVE,
