Rest In Peace Augustus McCrae

The image you left us

still burns in the sand

Through prairies and rivers

your spirit expands

 

With always a smile

what had to be done

You did with a flourish

a true Texas son

 

My hopes they rode with you

as you ventured North

All foes you enveloped

their fates in due course

 

And only one cowboy

was struck with your brand

but millions of dreamers

— still wait your command

 

(To Robert Duvall (Gus): February, 2026)
