I'll Never find
Tears flowed as the Roadtrain
pulled away
I turned and sauntered back towards the 4b
Headed Home
But loneliness overtook me
I neglected to return that day
Following that trailer all the way to Darwin town
In the early hours
The Harbour Pilot took the
wheel midst rosy hue
He steered the live sheep transporter past that lonesome portside buoy
Another drop rolled down my
chin another memory never
to enjoy
I thought of your soft fleece
your bleat you know that
Girl I'll never find another ewe

so abstract and eloquent
what a sincere dedication..
may she rest in peace
thank you! dear Poet
I went to YouTube and watched a video of Judith from 1968, solo performance, in black and white. She sang Danny Boy, one of my favorites, and it was the most beautiful rendition I have ever heard. Thank you for this tribute to an incredible voice.
