Text Box: Cowboy Try   A cowboy and a horseman, I’m one in the same. There aint a cow I can’t pen or a horse I can’t tame. I grew up in the old school, but evolved in the new, but in the same business for 30 years there’s been few.   I’m on the back side of forty and pondering now, When I reach 70 will I still ride em and how? But my blessings have been many, and my heartaches been few.  I’ve calved thousands of cows, and a camel or two.   Some mounts have been iffy, some spoiled rotten brats. But they usually made a cow horse once we got past our spats. Old timers tell me I was born way too late. New waivers tell me my style is up for debate.   But I’m just myself, I’ve always been that way. I do what I think is right and still listen to what others say. I’ve soaked in the knowledge of 40 years or more, And tried to be the best, more better than before.   I leave you with this thought, before I say goodbye, In my mind you’ll make a cowboy, if all you have is try.   Geff Dawson, 2003
