Favorite Poem

The Woman I Will Be

I shall wear diamonds and a wide brimmed straw hat with ribbons and flowers on it

And I shall spend my social security on white wine and carrots

And sit in the alley of my barn and listen to my horses breathe.

I will sneak out in the middle of a summer's night

And ride the dappled mare across the moonstruck meadow, if my old bones will allow.

And when people come to call, I will smile and nod,

As I walk them past the gardens to the barn

And show, instead, the flowers growing there

In stalls fresh-lined with straw.

I will shovel and sweat and wear hay in my hair as if it were a jewel.

And I will be an embarrassment of all who look down on me

Who have not yet found the peace in being free

To love a horse as a friend, a friend who waits at midnight hour

With muzzle and nicker and patient eyes

For the kind of woman I will be when I am old.
