Extraordinary Kind
On vacation, a place in the sun,
I wanted to do something exciting and fun.
I decided to find a place to horseback ride,
just the horse, me, and the guide.
I tried to recall riding horses in my past,
the guide told me that "Alessandro" was fast.
We were taking a leisurely tour,
the scenery, the beauty, couldn't have enjoyed anything more.
But I was in for a surprise you see.
The guide had a real treat for me.
We were at the base of a hill,
we would run to the top, excited, I got a chill.
My guide smiled, " let him go on three".
I leaned back a little, was ready as I could be.
Sandro knew what he was all about.
All that I had to do was let him out.
In those few moments I felt we could fly,
Sandro and me into the sky.
I felt pure joy riding into the sun
my horse and I moved as one.
When we reached the top of the hill, I let out a deep sigh.
My heart and soul were exhilarated and high.
It was an experience, I won't forget a thing.
Remembering how it caused my heart to sing
It remains etched in my memory, forever in my mind,
It was just a moment in time, but the extraordinary kind.
