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.
