Breaking a Horse

Hooves stutter
Hide flashes
Muscles quiver
Bodies soar
Leather creaks
unwilling to let to let go
Skin glows
as it meets the sun
The breaking process
has begun

Freedom Is

Freedom is
Our flag flying high
Freedom is
Liberty standing tall
Freedom is
what we fight for
Freedom is
what so many have fallen to protect

To Ride

To ride
is to feel a freedom unlike any other
To ride
is to feel the wind and imagine that you can fly
To ride
is to form a friendship that withstands any test
To ride
is to find a joy that can never be found in anything else
To ride
is to play with angels sent to us without their wings
To ride
is to find the strength to do things you never thought possible.
To ride
is to find the courage to love something besides yourself
To ride
is to find a side to yourself that you never knew existed
To ride
is to see the beauty of a spirit never truly broken by man
To ride
is to live

Cry Together

We cry for the ones
who return
We cry for the ones
who are lost to us forever
We cry when they
have to leave
We cry when they
don't come back
But we only cry for
the ones we know
We only cry for
the ones we love
This war isn't just about us
We are not the only
ones who have
lost dear ones
in this fight
We are not the only
ones who have
had loved ones
sacrifice their lives
to keep people they
don't even know free
They have all
paid the ultimate price
though we only grieve
for the ones we knew
We only grieve
for the ones
we loved
The ones who won't
come back
and even the
ones who do
have paid the greatest
and most selfless price
just to help us all
So when we cry
lets cry together
Lets cry for the
ones left behind
Lets cry for all the
brave men
and women who have
paid the greatest price
of all
For they have paid
with their lives
Lets cry and
always pray
That one day
they will all
come home
and that the tears
for the dear ones lost
will finally be able
to go away

Heavenly Father

Forgive me heavenly father
for i have sinned today
in every single possible way
I got mad
I got sad
And all the while I knew that
what I was doing was wrong
I heard you tell me
to tell you all my problems and worries
but instead I kept them to myself
Though now I am asking you for help
I know that I dont deserve it
but heavenly father I really need your help,
a help that only you can give
I need your love, your guidence, your strenght, and
most of all your unsurpassed patience
Please cleanse my soul
please take away all my hurts and woes
For you are my heavenly father and
I will follow you down which ever road
you tell me I should go

Farewell My Friend

My friend
It was a sad day in my life
the day your beautiful one ended
We had our good times
and our bad ones too
But in the end you always came through
Your soft velvet nose
and your big brown eyes
always found a way to make me smile
So even though our time together
has come to an end
Your loss will forever be sore
your spot never completly refilled
So farewell my horse
farewell my friend
Know that I have loved you past the end

Horse And Rider

One mind
One movement
One joy
Two bodys
Two hearts
This is where the horse and rider start
