Sandra Haight Poet Limerick

A Day I Remember

Age six- I remember outside
I saw something great I could ride
We just had moved in
Can still feel my grin
When this big surprise I had eyed!

Beside the barn building it stood
I knew that my future looked good
Considered the fun
How fast it would run
And take me 'round my neighborhood!

Intentions to race down the lane
Were greater than I could explain
Asked daddy of course
Could I ride that horse
He laughed and said that's a Great Dane!
