Spirit

Like us the cow has spirit

a heart, it’s  lungs and all

a brain and inner organs

and she hears us when we call

she enjoys a grassy meadow

and wild herbs at her feet

and has an innate knowledge

and is purposefully discreet

Eating much less animal flesh

Provided  the farm is organic

she has a better chance

of eating what is in season

than a medicinal mis glance

free will and good taste buds

an historic medicine guide

And an affirmation of the wonders

around the countryside.
