In Loving Memory

It’s been a year.


A year without your dark wise eyes, 


a year without hour long butt scratches. 


It’s been a year without your kindness,


a year without your silent strength. 


It’s been a year since you led the herd,


a year since you came to the fence, 


gently asking for treats. 


I whole year has gone by without you, 


but not a day, without you in my heart. 


It’s also been a year since you felt pain, 


a year since you struggled to walk. 


It’s been year since daily medication,


a year since you couldn’t get back up. 


You beautiful, big souled Thoroughbred, 


you deserved more. 


Of all the gifts you brought to me,


the biggest gift I could give in return, was 


to let you go.
