She Has To Go-Make Their Jaws Drop

Her hair so silky,
Her stride so luxurious.
She runs and I follow,
I want her to stay

We play in the paddock,
Among the hay bales 
Her favourite past time,
My favourite past time

She has to go,
Go away
It's for the best,
I know it is

She's my night, my day,
My everything
She runs to my arms,
For the very last time

I kiss her on the head,
And tell her how much I love her
For this is it,
The end of the road

It's time for her to go
Out of my head,
But forever in my heart
I take my beautiful horse to the vet,
Where she will be put down

I cry and cry, 
But then I remember,
She will always be in my heart
