...and into the first turn

In my inbox. From my Dad. Totally Free. Totally Awesome.

I told her hello on a great fall day 

You’re Ann you know 

And you’ve come to stay

I know I’m Ann she said with a grin

I’d love to stay if you'll have me in 

I promise to please and I’ll be prim

I’ve a lot to do shall we begin? 

We walked together she and I 

We shared a big Montana sky

A favorite book and a passage too 

We laughed I cried ..and both of us knew

a lot of years but way to few

A mind so quick a heart so strong 

Like a thorough bred winning its first furlong

She chomped at the bit raring to go 

Now dad she said… “you gotta let go.”

I dried my eyes as this wonder went

Out the gate just hell bent

I can’t forget that last fall day

I just remember what she had to say

“I promise to please and I’ll be prim

I’ve a lot to do….gotta begin…bye dad”
