A Priceless Beauty....

 

A Priceless beauty
By Hayley Sargent

He'll be there for you
A prancing stride, matching your fluttering heart
A rear, a strike, and you are captivated
He snorts with glee as he plays with his shadow

You can run, but god's wind will always be there
He moves like a cloud, sweeping across the blue skies
Your family depends on his heart, and speed
He'll run his heart to prove your honor

He'll be there for you
From the time you call his name
Not that he is bound to this earth
His soul can take flight
But it's your purity that keeps him grounded

Each stride of his trot teases the idea of flight
His eyes are deep pools of mankind's determination
He has seen all
His scream can quiet the most busy trade route

When the day is done
He'll be there for you
Settled into your tent
His heart bonded to yours

The next day shall come,
and he shall tempt the heavens again

  9. Yes Silvia I did take this picture. Actually I would estimate that I about 95% are my own pictures. Ironically the horse was just moving all over as his owner was giving him calls and I was just "click, click, click, and click..." as I knew he was moving so fast the best I could do was just that. I got into my car and then this is were I will review them and do my first delete. Ironic but this picture is one of my favorites while as the same time I do wish to write more - but one you have the camera it's hard to place it down.

    Your most welcome Silvia.
