Kathleen West Poems

Deer hunting time is here again
And many hunters take to the woods
After months of planning with family and friends
They gather in common brotherhood
...

Another year has come full circle
And memories old and new
Get me thinking of how truly blessed I am
To have a father as wonderful as you
...

I prayed to God to send me a friend
Who had things in common with me
Someone who looks beyond here and now
Who lives life joyfully
...

Fill me Lord with your love
So there's room for nothing else
Please take all despair and pain away
And may your forgiveness, dear Lord, be felt
...

I LOVE MY HORSE AND I'LL TELL YOU WHY
HE'S THE BEST HORSE AROUND AND THAT IS NO LIE
HE'S TOUGH AND SMART AND ALWAYS DOES THE RIGHT THING
WHATEVER I ASK AND RIDES LIKE A DREAM
...

Cowgirls are special and work hard every day
They feed their own horses, and stack their own hay
They know who they are, and where they are from
Their family comes first, but when the chores are all done
...

It's so nice to know someone
Who thinks that way that I do
It's so nice to be in love
And know it's returned to you
...

I will always remember my granny
She was a woman in her own right, and loved by many
She was a woman of great strength and pride
With a character all her own, and she took things in stride
...

Bits of paper pressed in a book
Remembrances he wanted to keep
Obituaries of the ones he loved most
And poems that could make you weep
...

A year is approaching since you passed on
And so many memories come to mind
I think about all that you have meant to me
And the empty place you left behind
...
