For the Love of Lippy

For the love of Lippy I've done it all... And I would do it all again For my heart, for my joy, for my friend Oh what a world you got me into! Some days so long and hard, I thought I'd never make it through Except for knowing that at the end of the day, I could spend some time with you We weathered the disasters and wrong choices... mostly mine But we've reveled in our successes, in our friendship and in our time So many places, so many changes, what a life we've shared You've done what I've asked, you've mastered your tasks And for you I will always be there... as you have been there for me When my mind is blood red and my heart is stone gray You stand before me pure white And your mane dries my tears and your coat soaks in my sorrows And your eyes always reveal "The Light" Given to each other by one greater than us who knew what we both would need Never a truer companionship than with you my faithful steed! From long lazy rides in lush green fields on warm bright summer days To tranquil wooded trails and dusty old roads, you've carried me all the way You saved my heart, you saved my mind, you saved me from it all And I owe you my life, I owe you the world for answering my call For you I do it all... Always in my heart I know you'll be, no matter what time brings For it cannot separate two spirits joined Or the memories that make their hearts sing Together we answered the call For you my wonderful friend...
