Wordy Wednesday

Gonna let Deb(Greymare) post some additional pics of Shiroc on her blog, seeing as she has many of them . But I am also reposting the poem I wrote for Shiroc(At least I think I posted it  before )

They first called her Ashes

But that was just Silly

Ashes was no name for that

 Little grey filly

A pretty rough start

For that little girl

But she showed she had heart

And gave us a whirl

A new owner soon

Who started to see

Just what

 That little grey mare could be

You sure couldn’t push her

Or force her to bend

But with patience and

Time

She gave in the end

Stubborn and stoic

Tireless and strong

She‘d give what she got

And go the day long

She made me a friend

 Lasting and true

And though I wouldn’t admit it,

I loved her too

A stealthy horse,

In shadowy state

Before you would see her

She would slip out the gate

Time marched along

Just like it does

And we are left wondering

Just where it goes

From Ashes she came

To Ashes she went

But the time in between

Was brilliantly spent

She runs through my mind,

Now and again

Like the warm southern wind

That gave her a name

Shiroc and her son Blue

Stay safe everyone
