WROTE A SONG FOR BLAKE TO PAY MY RESECTS FOR HIS RECENT LOSS..... XOXOXOX HEATHER MARIA RAMIREZ THE NEW QUEEN OF THE WRITERS WORLD....
ITS TITLED
HEAVEN STRONG
“HEAVEN STRONG”
Daddy’s are the cowboys on earth, who lead the paths for their young bucks, showing them how to saddle up, and ride through life without failing or falling off, teaching them right from wrong, to stand tall, and be proud of who you are.
So, when the day come, God called home the best cowboy I ever knew even though it hurts like hell, and I miss my old man more than life itself, I can smile now, when I stand by his headstone , and I sing this goodbye song to him, hoping it echoes through the Lord’s kingdom, every time I strum the strings to my guitar.
Because, every son of a good cowboy knows, eventually God comes and walks along the shores of life calling his cowboys one by one to saddle up and head back home to stand heaven strong … Silhouettes’ of white horses gallop in the shadows of the moon, a place where the spirits of cowboys ride on.
Yeah, the best cowboys stand heaven strong, so ride on daddy… ride on… I know your looking down on me from God’s windows sipping on angel salt whiskey in a horizon unknown, under a different sun setting the spotlight on the scenes of a new western, where the spirits of cowboys live on boot scooting on heavens floors talking about the good old days and still counting old blessings like priceless coins.
I just hope my daddy knows that his memory dwells picture perfect on the walls of my heart, and I hope he’s looking out God’s windows sipping on his angel salt whiskey proud of the man I’ve become, because there comes a time we have to let go, every son of a cowboy knows even though it hurts like hell, eventually God comes and walks along the shores of life calling his cowboys one by one to saddle up and head back home to stand heaven strong. In a horizon unknown, under a different sun spotlighting the scenes of a new western.
Silhouettes’ of white horses gallop in the shadows of the moon to a place where the spirits of cowboys live on.
So, ride on daddy, ride on, cuz it’s your time to stand heaven strong and sip on angel salt whiskey counting all your blessings like priceless coins.
Dear Lord, I hope, when I stand by my old man’s headstone singing this goodbye song, that he’s looking out of God’s windows proud of the man I have become, and that he knows his son understands, that when the lord calls good old country boys home, they have to saddle up like a true cowboys does, and serve as soldier’s in God’s kingdom…. Standing heaven strong.. . Even though, letting go hurts like hell…. Ride on daddy…. Ride on…. Cuz it’s your time to stand heaven strong…….. Oh, so heaven strong………. So, Ride on….. Daddy ride on and stand heaven strong cuz your still the best cowboy your son has ever known…
