COW GIRL……..(Dedicated to my artistic friends Ken Furnace and Marie Harris.)

Yes! That is my famous cow girl stare

Smiling brings softness to this hard glare

However life lets not you, to smile

Ever under its control and endless trials

Still we all live in two worlds

One allowed to view and the other kept blurred

God has his plans but we still do dream

Yes his plans are we with a fixed theme

When young I read a lot of romantic novels

And tried imagining myself to fit into the role model

Ever was I fascinated to be a cow girl

That wish still alive and never could I, it hurl

Wanted to be dressed in the gear they wore

At this age begged friends who had art in them galore

Ken Furnace and Marie Harris fulfilled my wish

They decked me up and turned me into a delightful dish

Thanks to Lucy Walker the writer who made me dream

So many dreamy years I spent in the Australian ranches , evergreen.
