Movin' On Poem by Cowboy Ron Williams

Movin' On

Rating: 5.0


I see the trail ahead of me,
though light is growing dim;
my faithful hoss will get me there;
I can depend on him.

We've got to make it up this hill;
we're still far from the top.
We have to keep a-movin', though;
we can't afford to stop.

So, onward, ever onward, boy;
there is no going back.
The speed is not important, boy;
just be on the right track.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This poem was inspired by the poem "Onward" by Smoky Hoss.
I left a comment on his poem and later was inspired to expand the comment into a poem of my own.

Thanks, Smoky!

If you have a goal in life (and you should)
keep moving toward it. Don't get sidetracked.

I remember a saying I heard years ago:

"Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there."
