My hand on your heart....

[dippymare]

I wrote this tonite as I heard of another person sadly losing thier horse....


You dont have to be perfect to belong in this place
You dont have to be bold or certain to be brave
You dont have to have achieved everything or even have been placed
You just need to know the time has come for you to leave this place.....

You can climb the highest hillsides
You can gallop through the snow
You can trot around your paddock, posing as you go
You can rest your heart and soul with me and wearily lie down
And I promise to protect you from all that lies around....

You can sleep at ease and know that I will always hold you dear
You can rest your legs and close your eyes and know that I am near
You can say goodbye and remember me as my hand lays on your heart
Cos I know that mine is breaking at the thought of us apart....

You carried me through good and bad, through tears and laughter too
Its my turn now my dear old friend, my turn to carry you
You are at rest and peace at last, no pain will touch you now
Your in a place so beautiful....with greeness all about....

Just go my love, my horse my life...my true and constant friend
And gallop on and dont look back, I will always be your friend
The pleasure knowing you these years is purely mine you see
I love you now and more each day and forever that will be......


Love to all that have experienced the sad loss of a loved equine...
Warmest regards to you all.......Michaela xx (aka Dippymare) xxx
