I’ve Been in Bluegrass Country I’ve been in bluegrass country I have known the feel of pride Courage, faithfulness, and love And beauty by my side A stallion and a thoroughbred A horse with heart of gold A spirit faithful to the end In stories never told That horse became my closest friend A vital loving part His blood ran through my very veins And spirit through my heart I left that place of bluegrass hills Encased in serpent fence To follow one I thought I loved And lived the consequence All the traits so beautiful I learned and cherished so Were missing in the man I loved Who left me long ago Kentucky is not now my home But always plays a part Of everything I value That now dwells within my heart The loyalty, the love and trust The honor that I know Were etched into my spirit By a stallion long ago Elizabeth Santos |

A fitting tribute to a most noble beast, as well as fond remembrance of youth and life. Very well written. But I have to wonder, what was the horse's name? Alicat |

It's very lovely, Liz - James The beauty of nature is displayed, not through itself, but through the creatures dwelling within its bosom. |
