as we left we noticed that someone had rolled up their copy of the ralph w. harding poem and placed it insdie the top of one of the stakes.
ralph w. harding
like all men he must pass away,
but the moment wasn't known,
and then one beautiful autumn day,
his horse came in alone.
even the quaking aspen stood still--
empty saddle in the sun!
bearing witness from the hill,
the teacher's work was done.
while cattle grazed the grassy slope,
and the weather was sublime,
the cowboys rode in desperate hope,
they could get to him in time.
there mist autumn leaves at an elevation,
high above the farming land,
he found god among the creations
of his almighty hand.
