My Fondest Memory

I remember 
The smell of hay and apples on his breath 
The warm rough touch of his red mane against my skin 
I remember 
Touching his soft brown fur
And looking into big brown eyes 
I remember 
The neigh he only had for me 
And his joyous dance when he saw me enter the barn 
I remember 
The day it was all taken away 
I remember 
The last hug goodbye 
And the last whisper I love you 
As i had to let him go 
I remember it all
