Turquoise Bill, SASS #39118 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hopilong Cassidy, aka Mike Devlin of Dewey, AZ passed last night. Hoppy to all his friends, shot in the first EoT as well as EoT 2011. He will be missed. Here is a cowboy psalm written by Boston John Doucette back in 2002 as a tribute to Hoppy: Hoppy A Cowboy Psalm Dear God, only You know when I'll reach the end of my trail, So I want you to know I'm grateful. A hundred times I've been thrown by life And a hundred times You've lifted me back in the saddle. Every morning I see Your smile in the sunrise over the prairie And taste Your breath in the sage on the wind. You put the aches in my bones at sunset to remind me that I'm still alive, And the stars in the midnight sky to keep me humble. I know that You love me. When I've thirsted You've been my drink And Your words have been my bread. You catch me when I tangle my spurs, You keep me from taking the crooked path. You gave Your Son for my immortal soul. And I know, Lord, that when I am judged You won't care how long I stayed on– But how well I rode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
