Don't Cry for the Horses

 

in memory to IM A TROUBLED CHICK (Chickalejos/California Trouble) "Happy" 03.14.89 - 06.06.02

 

Don't cry for 
 the horses that life has set free.
 A million white horses forever to be.
 Don't cry for the horses now in God's hand.
 As they dance and they prance in a heavenly band.

 They were ours as a gift, but never to keep.
 As they close their eyes forever to sleep.
Their spirits unbound. On silver wings they fly.
A million white horses against the blue sky.
                            
 Look up into heaven, you'll see them above.
The horses we lost, the horses we loved.
 Manes and tails flowing, they gallop through time.
 They were never yours, they were never mine.

Don't cry for the horses.
 They'll be back someday.
When our time is gone, they will show us the way.
 Do you hear that soft nicker? Close to your ear?
                            
 Don't cry for the horses.
Love the ones that are here.

Our good friends Jackie and Ernie Bezley, who helped us buy this fine mare,
 gave us a card that read this:

Losing a pet
                       is like saying 
                      good-bye 
                      to a dear friend.
                      I know it will take a while
                       to stop feeling sad,
                      but I hope it's comforting
                      to remember
                      the kindness you gave....
                      and all the love, loyalty,
                      and companionship
                      that was yours in return.
