The Cowgirl Vet
Skilled hands pass the tube, and work with no attitude.
Complete concentration, determination and love, it’s the life of vet sweeping in like a dove.
Frantic we call when we are scared. We call when we need her and she comes prepared.
In her truck she appears in one little tick, with knowledge and kindness to suture that nick.
Coming in like a savior to rescue the day to a creature that can’t talk, but has plenty to say.
She helps to soothe worry when they are hurt,
We often can find her rolling round in the dirt
To wrestle the calf, or wrangle the foal
there is only one purpose and only one goal
To help fix the problem or relieve the pain
the money can be shoddy but a life saved is gain
Our puppy is hurt, our cat is a mess, our horse appears crippled and they need a test
They run through the fence, they eat way too fast, they’ve cut themselves somewhere, they can’t pass the calf
She begins work at daybreak and works through the day, trying hard to be helpful listening to what we might say
The job is a calling a passion at best,
but the cowgirl vet makes it her quest
To love those that we love and help those that need,
I am grateful to know her she is priceless indeed.
