Comment from Connie C
Once again I am taken with your poetry. My daughter recently broke it off with her long-time cowboy because she didn't think she would be happy as a cowboy's wife. It is sad because they do love each other. I often show her your poetry. This one especially hits home. I do see one tiny error in your poem though. There should be no apostrophe in the word "thing's" since it is plural, not possessive. (Sorry--that's the ex-English teacher in me.) Nice work once again! Connie C

Comment from Judian James
I didn't realize a "cowgirl" meant wife and mother! I thought "cowgirl" meant she rides the range too. Although he's away for long periods, on the range I presume, why are "her fancy ways long gone with age" ending? Plus, if she's running around after kids, how old can she be? Well rhymed, but I didn't really get this one DW. Sorry

Comment from Deejharrington
I wonder if she would trade it for the world of fancy living? It is a hard life. Of that I have no doubt. But I would think the trade-offs would be enough. A very good story told in verse.

Comment from dportwood
deepwater,
Yes indeed, the modern cowgirl faces a much different lifestyle than her counterpart of the past. This line is especially significant:
How sweet it was to think of thing's he promised they would do
Just a note: In that line 'thing's' should be 'things'.

Comment from Margaret Snowdon
I like this, Gary - you
definitely have a unique
style of your own -- I
see you are making your
lines a little shorter,
which does help the flow.
think of thing's
think of things
Most enjoyable, my friend.

Comment from ulster3
Hello this morning.
This is an excellent poem with a keen thought expressed in the form of the Texas Cowgirl. I think you are saying that life has changed for all women today. If I read correctly, age bears dissapointments.
Fondly, Rebecca

Comment from Leigh Ann
This flows well, good rhyme and meter. It is so true times have changed. With age comes wisdom though. Sometimes our reality far out weighs the dreams we had as youth. Love and family is whats so important. Great piece. Leigh Ann

Comment from dragonpoet
This is a flowing story about how life changes from being single and being married. Also about what freedoms and life styles are changed when life changes
I see no errors.
Keep writing

Comment from Auroraboreal800
I'm crazy about country music, and wish some day l could live in a farmer, so, despite the sadness of the poem, life is hard for most woman in general...
Great job!
