The Warmth of a Horse

When your day seems out of balance

and so many things go wrong ...

When people fight around you

and the clock drags on so long ...

When some folks act like children

and fill you with remorse ...

Go out into your pasture and wrap

your arms around your horse.

His gentle breath enfolds you as he

watches with those eyes ...

He may not have a PhD but he

is, oh so wise!

His head rests on your shoulder

you hug him good and tight ...

He puts your world in balance

and makes it seem all right.

Your tears will soon stop flowing,

the tension will be eased ...

The nonsense has been lifted.

You are quiet and at peace.

So when you need some balance

from the stresses in your day ...

The therapy you really need

Is out there eating hay!
