I still see her climbing over the stile
to meet the cows
coming to the barn
over the hard ground
at sundown.
I hear her saying,
“I’ll miss these old cows,”
and think,
the cows miss her, too,
in their way.
We all do.
The Stile
Published by jimwdollar
I'm retired, and still finding my way--but now, I don't have to pretend that I know what I'm doing. I retired after 40.5 years as a minister in the Presbyterian Church USA, serving churches in Louisiana, Mississippi and North Carolina. I graduated from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, in Austin, Texas, and Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. My wife, Judy, and I have three daughters, five granddaughters, one great granddaughter, and a great grandson on the way, within about ten minutes from where we live--and are enjoying our retirement as much as we have ever enjoyed anything.
