My Little Green Horse

allow me to explain the entry below years ago I worked within domestic violence one late night a victim entered the shelter I was on duty so we sat had a cup of tea and talked I will never forget the night or woman who was an actual artist before my eyes my little green horse was born she drew me a horse out of love and appreciation truth be told it is I who appreciated her then and now thank you "my little green horse" born within the midnight hour you appeared starting over a conversation and a cup of tea your creator eagerly had all her materials ready in less than a blink of the eye you were born born by a scrap paper green pencil and kind heart your sculpture and I spoke quietly facts and truth of life situations the future and present at hand thanking me for assistance she graced me with talent for all that was that fine night and moment in time you remain my prize possession my little green horse SkyWatcher 04-02-23

Good Morning Mystic. Hello. It is I who once again thanks you. Truly. Your review is most generous and it was a night I will never forget or the accomplished and talented woman who traveled miles and states to free herself. My little green horse was born right before my eyes on a tiny white paper and a green pencil (smile but true). Have a wonderful morning and day and I will see you shortly on your page. Blessings...

Looks like Paul beat me to the punch. I was gonna say working with domestic abuse victims is hard to say the least. No wonder you have such a kind heart. The poem is good but secondary for me. You have garnered nuch respect from me today, Lisa. You truly are an angel:)

Daniel Daniel Daniel. Good Morning. I am speechless with such a generous and wonderful review and commentary to which I do not take for granted. I also do not take you your visits time and commentary for granted either. Yes, it was a night I won't forget or the accomplished and talented woman who drew me my little green horse before my eyes to which I still have the drawing that I framed (smile). Please know men are victims also. I can't tell you how many times I spoke to men over the phone who struggled with being abused by their wives or girlfriends. True. Thank you again Daniel. I am beyond honored by your review and commentary. Blessings to you now and always. Keep enjoying poetrysoup and I will see you shortly on your page. (smile)

That green horse will always be close to your heart, Lisa. It is the common factor between an abused victim and the one who welcomes, listens and puts her at ease. Your job at the shelter was not an easy one, Lisa, and I admire you for that. ~ Regards // paul

Good Morning Paul. Hello. Thank you ever so much. It was a night I won't forget or the accomplished woman who traveled miles and states to free herself. She was an actual artist and she drew my little green horse on a tiny piece of white paper with a green pencil before my eyes. I still have the drawing. Thank you again Paul. May this day find you well. Have a wonderful morning and keep enjoying poetrysoup. (smile) Blessings always and I will see you shortly on your page.
