When I am Old...

I shall wear turquoise
And a straw cowboy hat that doesn't match
and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my social security
on white wine and carrots
And sit in the alley way of my barn
And listen to my horses breathe.

I will sneak out in the middle of a summer night
And ride the dappled mare
Across the moonstruck meadow,
If my old bones will allow.
And when people come to call,
I will smile and nod,
As I walk them past the gardens to the barn
And show, instead, the flowers growing there.

In stalls fresh-lined with straw
I will learn to shovel and sweat
and wear hay in my hair as if it were a jewel.
And I will be an embarrassment to my only child
Who will have not yet found the peace in being free
To love a horse as a friend,
A friend who waits at midnight hour
With muzzle and nicker and patient eyes
For the kind of person I will be

When I am old.

"All horses deserve, at least once in their lives,
To be loved by a little girl."

LOL

That was cute. Said it was 1992 ... hmmm eighteen years. When I watch Hanah Montana with Marissa, he doesn’t look much older now.

Thanks, Pam.

Cute poem, Yorkie. I couldn't see the pic .... just got the dreaded red X

[JustAmy]

Ahhh .... isn’t that sweet. Thank you, Yorkie.

[yorkie]

The picture shows up on my computer.....Hmmmm.
Maybe it's because I posted the direct link instead of tiny-pic.
Let me know if this works - because it goes so well with the 'poem':

[JustAmy]

Yes .... this one appears. It is perfect with the poem.

Thanks for sharing this picture. It is wonderful.

Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, amid these who heeded the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!
