ONE MORE RIDE

Notes
He stands in front of me with one wild eye
His hooves are trimmed; his body so clean
He is muscular, confident; such a good guy
Not one thing out of place, I feel like a queen
I walk toward him as he lowers his head
I stroke his broad nose and speak slowly
What is between us remains unsaid
He and I know our love is better than holy
I approach his side, walk him out the door
To the field we go, with no reason to stop
I've never been so confident before
Nothing can stop us not a million raindrops
A feeling like flying nobody else could explain
We are together one, our hearts in sync
Galloping so fast people think we're insane
But when I open my eyes, I am what they think
No horse beneath me, nor by my side
No warm breath on my face this morning
We used to ride together in stride
Now I'm all alone in mourning
He is still galloping with pride
I am still on edge and storming
The feeling inside that I have is so grim
I wish I had one more ride with him

A wonderful remembrance of a special horse. Made me think of my own special horse, my best friend, and I cried. What a joy it is to have such a beautiful being to have such a special bond with, a connection, communication and caring. Though sadness may come after they’re gone, the memories remain. Great poem Lilly!
Well said Jackie. Thank you!
