Mr. Truly Amazing

Sixteen years old and in a world of her own Confined to life lived in a wheelchair Ever since birth, doctors don’t know what went wrong But, it was like no one was at home in there One summer vacation with the other kids in tow The family visited a Kentucky horse stable They left her alone in a sunny grass meadow While off riding with the children who were able While sitting alone in a catatonic state Staring out somewhere in space A gelding that was grazing, Mr. Truly Amazing Came up and licked her on the face The family returned to a shocking surprise Seeing the wheelchair left unoccupied They looked all around, then couldn’t believe their eyes When they saw her standing with a horse by her side She was petting his nose, feeding him an apple And seemed to be whispering something They were frozen in their tracks not believing the fact That their Jenny was no longer a nothing The mother walked up, in a delicate manner Not wanting to interrupt this miracle’s course When Jenny turned to her and in a shallow voice Whispered, “Look, Mommy, I have a horse”
