Copper Rip

I wrote this about a two years ago for a horse I lost.. A big dark bay, Sweet big brown liquid eyes, A nice star to match, A beautiful Tennesseewalker, walked right into my heart; .. .. Good days and bad days, We had them all, But most of them good, I sat on him bareback, He knew how much it meant to me; .. .. He was there when I cried, Needed a friend, On bad and good days, We had it all; .. .. Our days where cut short, It got colder, He wouldn't get up 3 days passed and he still wouldn't get up' The vet came and gave him a shot; .. .. Now he's sleeping, Waiting for me, All of his friends that really did care, One day I will be with him, That will be our best day;

Animals become like members of our family and their death hurts us emotionally also. Good topic on which to write. Keep writing. Sara

Welcome to PoetrySoup, Brooke. Our animal pets are special friends to us. How a human being could be mean to an animal is beyond me. I currently have a cat, I call Tiger, he is a manx cat, a special friend to me. I raised him from a kitten. Sincerely, Moses

Beautiful tribute, Brooke! I am so sorry! I too love horses. They are fantastic animals! To honor your friend maybe you could pass that love forward to other horses. Perhaps that will help ease your pain? Take care! Peace and love, Audrey
