Power of Words-- new insights

Power of Words

A drive today for the face of a cow

a memory that resonates now;

Long ago a student in her journal writing

of a hike with friends a tale inviting

As the woods opened to sunny skies

Their laughter stops at a surprise

A grazing cow slowly turns to see

with kind brown eyes the sound of their glee

velvety fur on a large frame—

a giant, seemingly tame

turns away for more green delights

and the kids slip away out of sight;

these she wrote in her journal back then

describing the creature as a friend

with words so clear of the gentle giant

that my perceptions of “cow” changed that instant

appreciating through a young girl’s words

what I, an adult, missed of this world;

So today we drive, my husband and me,

he so sweet indulging my needs

for a cow photograph to remember the moments

through picture and poems I note the remembrance—

Of the power in our words we speak and write

To change minds with new insights.
