She Loves Horses
She Loves Horses
Born into a world of strife
She has led such a difficult life
Smart beyond her tiny years
A child filled with so many fears
But put her on a horse of white
and you will see how very quiet
her fears become
fears from one so very young
Afraid to fall asleep at night
knowing she will wake so full of fright
Pain in her legs keeping her awake
fear of sleeping she cannot shake
Abandoned by one she loves so much
hoping her dad will keep in touch
Time is slowly clearing those tears
saying goodbye to most of her fears
Riding her horse tall and proud
smiling at the cheers from the crowd
Red ribbon, Blue ribbon Champion of the show
Underneath her smile no one will ever know
