I had given up my smile along time ago,
that was until the rainy morning I met you.
With a coat that shined like copper,
you stole my heart away.
You looked beyond it’s battle scars,
it’s purple bruises and empty spaces,
and saw tiny pieces,
unmarred or broken and rooted yourself there.
I guess that’s why I love you,
and see beyond your flaws.
Your conformation is lacking,
and you can be an ornery pony,
but that doesn’t matter to me
Beyond what people see,
there is a stud at heart.
You deserve the best,
because you see the best.
You are my angel sent from heaven above.
Today you made me want to laugh again,
you nuzzled my tears away,
with your spirit and your grace.
So full of healing,
you my sweetest friend.
You swish your tail, and toss your head,
as I let you go and play.
You buck a little and then drop your head to graze
thinking of all the ways,
you made me laugh today.
Thank you my friend,
for teaching me the most important lesson of all,
that the love of a horse,
is worth more than all the world can ever give.
