LOVE
Ode To Poco
She was an old lady
When she came to me
Twenty-five, that’s old
For a horse you see
She had lived her life
In the mountains of Colorado
And came to me for
The golden years in Texas
Little did we know
That in retirement
She would bring
Light, excitement, education, and guidance
To a woman needing her to see
To a woman needing to believe
Oh, ho her name Poco La Blue
She came from a famous family too
Dappled grey with a birthday in May
A 1985 model she was a lady
Delicate, determined, and true
A lady who taught me much
She came to me a blessing as such
When I was not so long in tooth
But neither were my eyes at my knees
Now I’m in the middle
And Poco has gone on
Paving the way as mares do
Lighting the path
Our journey not through
I know not much of her history
Of her life before me
Only what has followed
Since our meet cute
In a kill pen in shiner Texas
Then for 10 years
She was by my side
She was my eyes
my ears
my life guide
She took me places to my surprise
Not atop a saddle
But side by side
As she taught me her ways
I grew to know mine
Poco taught me you see
To tread deep waters carefully
To step gingerly through bogs
To back with dignity
To gallop wildly through fields
To keep eyes forward
To listen ears keen
Poco taught me healing and caring
Medicines for my mind
That took away the scales
That had kept me blind
This lady, my mare, my Poco, gave clear
Voice to this human you see standing here
Not bereaved by her loss
But……Holding lessons near
Treading carefully, stepping gingerly
Backing dignified, galloping wildly
