heart Of A Horse

    When your day seems out of balance  and so many things go wrong,

    When people fight around you and the time drags on so long

     When most folks act like children and fill you with remorse,

      Go out into your pasture , wrap your arms around your horse.

     His gentle breath enfolds you as he watches with those eyes

      He may not have a PHD, but he is, Oh so wise!  

      His head rests on your shoulder , you embrace him good and tight,

       He puts your world in balance and makes it seem alright.

      Your tears will soon stop flowing, your tension will be eased

       The nonsence will be lifted, You are quiet and at pease.

I love the feeling you have for horses

I relate to cats (which probably says a lot about me 8) I must admit I felt a bit left out. Us city folk seldom see horses, and when we do they seem rather large, mad and dangerous! I met an extraordinarily gifted animal trainer once who said it was important to speak to horses in italian, dogs in german, cats in french and goats in demonism, it made sense to me. Thanks for sharing this love. cheers, Jess
