Tis quite true I`m one of the old city gals

from our Great Nations American Lands,

I've seen few cows and prairie dogs

but at the wheeling and dealing

of life`s problems, I`m an old hand.

The cycle of life goes round and round

and of troubles all gets a share.

Still with continuing faith, love, and hope,

The only addition any needs for survival

is a days few moments of prayer.

I, like those old cowboys of pasts history visions

also originated from hearty stock,

My kind, much like the old west's pioneers

lassoed truths and justice

for our mode of life`s walk and talk.

So while, I only dreamed of being a

" Texas Cow Girl "

I actually hailed from the

Great Industrial State of Illinois,

Still, having Irish root threads woven

mysteriously into my souls fabric

I`m allowed the privilege of planting merry

word  seed feed visions for the joy of

small girls and boys.
