I’m out in the field <br />Roaming the vast prairie <br />Waiting for somebody <br />To come and visit me <br /> <br />Occasionally I’ll see <br />A car or truck around <br />I’m stand here just waiting <br />In my deserted prairie ground <br /> <br />I’m quite a handsome fellow <br />Just look here for yourself <br />Sometimes I feel my owner <br />Has put me on the shelf <br /> <br />I’m good for many things <br />I could win as a show horse <br />If someone only entered me <br />Into a show of course <br /> <br />But pretty soon I know <br />The kids will come on by <br />Visit me and ride me <br />And on my back they’ll fly!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-lonely-horse/
