Notes About The Poem

Blessed By the Ride

Gentle and good, filled with life That penetrated my soul You never gave me any strife But shared the dusty trail Wise and warm, filled with insight That left me with no worries Your sincere love brightened the night Strengthening my hopefulness Happy and glad, filled with kindness That lifted my heart from harm You always gave me so much power Leaving me grateful of your charm Light and laughter, thrilling my soul That whispered truth and peace Giving me all the answers to dreams That only caused joy to increase Tears and fears would come some days With all their doubts and mistrust Still, you gave me love that would amaze Leaving me feeling sure of my thanks Dust and Dirt, muddy paths to go down Sometimes led me to feel lost But you were always bringing faith around Despite my suspicions of being misled You’ve been a horse that never left my side And I’ve always felt blessed when astride Cowboy Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Line Gauthier January 18, 2021

So you are writing about a horse, I hope I got that right. A lively poem and I'm sure with time, rider and horse learn to ride together as they wished in perfect harmony. Superb poem, I really loved it. Best for a win. ~~
