"Just a Horse"

From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a horse", Or,"that's a lot of money for just a horse".

They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the Costs involved for "just a horse". Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a horse". Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a horse", but I did not once feel slighted. Some of my saddest moment have been brought about by "just a horse", and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a horse" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.

IF you, too, thinks it's "just a horse", then you will probably understand phrases like "just a friend", "just a sunrise", or"just a promise". "JUST A HORSE" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust and pure unbridled joy. "JUST A HORSE" brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person.

Because of"just a horse" I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly into the future. So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a horse" but an embodiment of all the hopes and dream of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment. "JUST A HORSE" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day. I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a horse" but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a woman".

So the next time you hear the phrase "just a horse", just smile, because they "just" don't understand.

THE HEART OF A HORSE

When your day seems out of balance
and so many things go wrong...
When people fight around you
and the day drags on so long...

You are so blinded by confusion
and can't stay the course,
just go out in the pasture
and wrap your arms around your horse.

His gentle breath enfolds you,
and he watches with those eyes
He may not have a PhD,
but he is, oh so wise!

His head rests on your shoulder.
You embrace him oh so tight.
He puts your world in balance,
and makes it seem all right.

Your tears they soon stop flowing.
The tension is now eased.
The problems have been lifted,
and you're quiet and at peace.

So when you need the balance
from circumstances in your day...
The best therapy that you can seek..
.is out there eating hay!!
