My Little Cowgirl

(Baby Girl Dont Be Afraid, You Can Conqure Anything )

[Start]

Little cowgirl dont be afraid
'Cause Daddy told me a secret today
And now as you look at me
Your eyes full of tears 
Not sure if your ready
Ill whisper it in your ear

*Just hold on tight
Your ready for this ride
Hold your head high
As the bright blue sky
Dont be afraid
Dont cry today
'Cause you may not know it
but baby your ready*

Little cowgirl your my very best friend
Id never lie to you
Ill love you till the end
I Know a secret 
I wasnt told not to tell
So as your about to cry
I know your ready to hear it
So ill whisper it in your ear

*Just hold on tight
Your ready for this ride
Hold your head high
As the bright blue sky
Dont be afraid
Dont cry today
'Cause you may not know it
but baby your ready*

Oh you may not know it yet
but baby your gonna be better than the rest
Just hold on tight
Your ready for this ride
Hold your head high
As the bright blue sky
Dont be afraid
Dont cry today
'Cause you may not know it
but baby your ready

Oh, Oh, Oh 
Just hold on tight
Your ready for this ride
Hold your head high
As the bright blue sky
Dont be afraid
Dont cry today
'Cause you may not know it
but baby your ready*

Oh, Oh, Baby your ready
i know
Oh baby your ready

[End]

I can't stop thinking of how wonderful it would be to witness a child overcoming the fear of learning how to ride a horse; to watch, or as you expressed it, participate in the development of their trust in themselves and with the nature of such a powerful and beautiful creature - someday I'm gonna ride horses, preferably with no instruction, because I'm dumb like that - you could be a great Mother Jay - J.A.B. %

Ive Been Told That Often Justin...One Day When Im Ready and a Bit Older I'll have children...Not too many though, because I know how they can drive a person insane. This poem was about my best friend, who more often than not, was in need of my mothering...I encouraged her to continue riding even though she was scared, and even though she had been hurt by it before.

I often gave her advice and a shoulder to cry on, and though many times she didnt return the favor I never held it against her. So, I guess in a way, I was like a mother to her. Thank you for reading and comenting. Your compliment means much to me.
