<BIG>Don't Cry for the Horses</BIG>
By Brenda Riley-Seymore
<CENTER>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 hands;
As they dance and they prance
To 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 will be back someday.
When our time has come,
They will show us the way.
On silver wings they will lift us
To the warmth of the sun,
When our life is over
And eternity has begun.
We will jump the sun
And dance over the moon.
A Ballet of horses and riders
on the winds
to a heavenly tune.
Do you hear that soft nicker,
Close to your ear?
Don't cry for the horses,
Love the ones that are here.
Don't cry for the horses.
Lift up your sad eyes.
Can't you see them
As they fly by?
A million white horses
Free from hunger and pain.
Their spirits set free
Until we ride again.</CENTER>
 
"Tuff" is getting up there in years, his right front hoof is giving him trouble, he has arthritis in his hips...I fear the day that he is no longer here. He has been a loyal friend, many miles we have ridden together, and he is living his last days in retirement at our home. When he went into retirement, I cleaned his saddle blankets and stored them in the tack room...they will never be used again.
Thanks for posting the poem, I enjoyed it! Please have a great day! Kelley (Texas) <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">
 
Every so often, I run across a poem about a horse in old age that has been abandoned in some pasture, or a poem about some poor horse that has been abused...I just don't read them. Some of them are so sad that they will cause you to choke up! If I run across a happy horse poem, I will post it especially for you, OK? Please have a great day!
