Goodbye Lady Lee
by Kay Lee Kelly
copyright 06-10-2002


Age Rating: 1 to 127

 
Goodbye Lady Lee

He stepped off the porch, into a slate gray day,
he will never walk his land again, he has to go away.
Under the action hammer, he will sell the ranch,
now all his dreams will end, he’s waiting in a trance.

Walks down to the old barn, to feed the Lady Lee,
she is a roping horse, the best you’ll ever see.
The cowboy bought her when she was very small
long legs, dish face, she didn’t look like very much at all.

Then came the day, she could out-run any colt,
ridding her was like being on a thunder bolt.
Brush in hand he curries, the Lady’s dark red coat,
the tears he cannot stop ~ on her mane they float.

Looking out over the pasture, colored with wild flowers,
out to the prairies hills were you could ride for hours.
Just now understanding youth does not last,
everything he ever loved now lives in the past
~
Goodbye to the dark red mare
nothing left to love or share
losing her is the hardest blow
and knowing that it is time to go.

Kay Lee, this is so eloquent...the sad farewell, the special bond between humans and our animal friends...it sure tugs at the heart!

Wonderful.......

Eloquent, yet earthy enough to remind us of his love of the land. I wonder if the elegant Lady Lee understood the depth of her metaphor existence. In some frame of reference, she must have. Very nice, Kay Lee... thanks for sharing this with us.

Such a loss, so sad. So wonderful you remembered in this verse.
