Not many things can make you feel special. However, your horse will. They can make you laugh and make you cry. They are always willing to nudge you in the right direction even if you don’t know what direction that is. When you put your head to theirs and look into their eyes, you know that there is a God and he is good.
For my horse loving friends
Lie across my shoulders and let me take you away
Close your eyes, I know where we are going
Listen to my heartbeat and sway with my movements
Feel the rhythm of my moves and follow in time
Run your fingers through my hair, I like that
Squeeze me with your legs, a hug of sorts
Know that you can tell me anything and I will listen
I will protect you against yourself
I have been yours since we first met
When I looked into your eyes and saw my heart
I knew that my life was yours
And I knew that yours was mine
So let me carry you through today
And ride me into tomorrow
Let me be your escape from the world
Let me be your reality
You can cry and I will not judge
Your tears will roll off of me
My reason to live is to carry your load
Place it firmly on my shoulders
Use me, I want you to
I need you just as much as you need me
I need your hands on my face and I need to see your eyes
I need you to talk to me, soft and soothing
I need you to listen, and hear me when I hurt
I need you to take care of me
By feeding me
By loving me
By nurturing me
I need you to share my soul
I need you to know that you are my world
Lie across my shoulders and let me take you away
Close your eyes, I know where we are going
