Caprine Poetry
Country Windows Country windows not the least ordinary
Unlike city windows hold no boundary
A meadow before me in its splendor
unlike city windows holds no censor
Cows grazing at their easy pace
Green grass growing in its place
No haunted eyes, no life but a glimmer
Seeking an answer looking in hunger
No more cement buildings of cold gray
No more people struggling astray
Peacefulness is outside my window
Life in my country does bestow
A joy freeing ones mind of sorrow

Winter BabiesCopyright, 2002 , Pamela Lampson Staples
Snowflakes fall, snowflakes glisten, in the barn ... shhh... just listen
there's a new little sound,
come gather around ..
Mama had her babies tonight!
There's a buck, he's just dandy,
and a doe,
sweet as candy,
They're baaahing at mom,
a soft goatie song,
Mama had her babies tonight!
In the barn, it's warm and snug and toasty,
I'd love to stay and watch the whole night through.
But Mama needs some rest, that special goaty!
And babies look a little tired, too.
Later on, we can hold them,
Little angels,
We'll just spoil them!
We'll love them all day,
in our special way,
Mama had her babies tonight. : )
Little Angel Goaty One sweet little goaty
on a cold night was born
shivering and shaking
feeling quite forlorn.
She was brought to an earthly angel
who took her under her wing
wrapped her up nice and warm
and a sweet song began to sing.
She loved this little goaty
and wanted her to stay.
But it wasn't in the plan
she would have to go away.
One sweet little goaty
closed her eyes and said good-bye.
Little angel wings
carried her up to the sky
Two sweet little goaties
born on this day.
Soon they will be running round
ready to romp and play.
Sweet little angel goaty
flew down to earth again.
For she's their guardian angel
and she'll watch over them.
