Monday Meanderings

Here’s to the horses

Here’s to the horses that taught us our stuff

Our patience, compassion and how to be tough

How to sit, how to listen, and how to eat dust

To be quiet and gentle, and how to just trust

The biters the kickers the ones that could buck

The reason all cowgirls, need a really good truck

Beautiful rides on wide open trails

And hours of fencing with a fistful of nails

Miles of vet wrap we have in our stores

And potions and ointments for wounds and for sores

The hours of cold and sleepless long nights

Till signs of a colic are again put to rights

And just when we think we are so very smart

Along comes the one who will make us a lawn dart

Every horse, shares new things in its turn

And shows us we still have so much to learn

So here’s to the horses that taught us our stuff

As much as they taught us, it’s still not enough

Stay safe and warm my friends
