A TRIBUTE TO THE HORSE

I am honoured by your majesty,
Yet humbled by your grace,
Yours is a world of service,
Masked by a gentle face.

Your strength is undisputed,
You have the power to kill,
but never would you knowingly harm,
Naturally it is not your will.

You carry us to dizzying heights,
With the willingness of a child,
And the innocence of an angel,
Hard to imagine you came from the wild.

You show the purest love,
Even when life for you is hard,
As humans we often spoil the pure,
Our priorities generally marred.

You can be whipped, kicked and hounded,
Yet one can never see a tear,
But we can see it in your spirit,
And your eyes they show your fear.

I can never take for granted,
The gifts you give so free,
So simple yet so intricate,
You ask nothing from the world you see.

To get you to serve your fullest,
We must never hurt or force,
The creature who has won our hearts,
That my friend is you the horse.

~ Debbie Louise Fleet ~

Thank you, ladies,
For the beautiful opening, this morning!
The poem is wonderful,
And the graphic is perfect!

Beautiful running horse! The poem almost makes one cry! Horses are so wonderful!

[jaycee]

I just found this horse a couple of days ago and thought it was so beautiful, especially in the early morning. I wish I could see its beautiful face. Enjoy!

[jaycee]

Oh my goodness, I would love to make that one. It looks like something I would enjoy! There isn’t much I don’t enjoy! LOL!

[yorkie]

JC, that picture is quite a find! And, you can tell that horse suffers no neglect - the coat is like velvet! Thanks for sharing!

[JustAmy]

That looks yummy.
Thank you!

I have my appetite so I'll be right over.

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Yorkie.

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Jaycee.

[yorkie]

Bisquick has many recipes for “Impossible Pie”. One of my favorites is their Spinach/Parmasean Impossible Pie - MMmmmmmmmmm!

Another good on you can make for lunch or dinner, is their cheeseburger pie - with ground beef and cheddar cheese!

The Bisquick makes a crust on the bottom and sides, and it is very much like a quiche.

[JustAmy]

That is a beautiful graphic. I love the horse.

Have a Delightful Day.

Happy Wednesday To Amy's Place.

yorkie, That picture was just under 300,000 and I reduced it at that site I recommended to you the other day. It doesn’t take anything over 300,000 bytes.

Thank you, but I still would love to see its face as I’m sure its lovely.

I know it's silly, but it's Wednesday
And I've been hummin' this song every day since I heard it last week.
So, just show it to the neighborhood kids or grandkids!

Little Bunny Foo Foo
hoppin’ through the forest,
scoopin’ up the field mice
and boppin’ em on the head.

And down came the Blue Fairy, and she said:
Little Bunny FooFoo
I don't want to see you
scoopin’ up the field mice
and boppin’ em on the head.

And now I'll give you three chances, and if you keep it up, I'll turn you into a goon.

And down came the Blue Fairy, and she said:
Little Bunny FooFoo
I don't want to see you
scoopin’ up the field mice
and boppin’ em on the head.

And now I'll give you two more chances, and if you do that again, I'll turn you into a goon.

You disobeyed me three times, so now I'm gonna turn you into a GOON!

And the moral of this story is: Always remember, Hare today, Goon tomorrow!
