Ron Secoy Biography

Ron Secoy, cowboy poet and cowboy at heart, lives at Central High, Oklahoma not far from Duncan and the famed Chisholm Trail. Not a cowboy by upbringing or by trade, his interest in the cowboy and cowboy poetry is in his words, “God given and a part of the big round up.” He has written something, from short stories to newspaper articles and personal journaling, most of his life. His first book, Cowboy Psalms, has come from his gut, his love for his Lord and the cowboy way of life. He lives on six acres with his wife Anneliese and daughter, Rani-Anne and a “passel of God’s creatures – 2 wolf dogs, a cow dog, a cat and two fine examples of horse flesh.”)

The Best Poem Of Ron Secoy

Just A Horse

A friend died recently
Our hearts filled with remorse
Some may not understand
They’ll say, “He was just a horse”

Broke his heart to sell Apache
But when Dad died he was forced
Three hundred and fifty dollars
“If you want just a horse”

For my daughter, a new chapter
In her growing up course
Her heart and eyes burned bright
Yet, “he was just a horse”

In the arena, through the poles
Riding natures own source
Mounted on her lithe steed
“Yes, he was just a horse”

A queen in the parade
With a crown and sash, of course
Riding regally through the cheering crowd
Noble and proud, “but just a horse”

In the corral or just around the pasture
Listening to her gentle discourse
Love applied with a curry brush
For an animal “who was just a horse”

God created all the animals
Before he created man in due course
Gave humanity all his best
God’s own plan, but “never just a horse”
