Selma R.I.P

My brown and white beauty, my friend.
It seems that our time here has come to its end,
And now is the moment I have come to dread
Where I must release you to go on ahead.
You have been faithful, I ask nothing more,
Except for a minute like the ones before.
But your ears are lifeless, your eyes lost their light,
And it's time to surrender to this final fight.
Those feet that have carried me feel only pain.
The back I have mounted won't be burdened again.
Your tail now droops downward where you once held it high,
And you can't gallop freely, despite how you try.
I know that it's time but it hurts just the same.
There's a crack in my voice when I whisper your name.
But I take off your halter- it's time that you go.
I can't ask you to stay here forever, you know.
With a last hug, a kiss, and a stroke of your face,
I hope to send you to a far better place.
A place without fear and a place without pain
Where all days are sunny and none of them rain.
Where you can run free with no fences or walls.
You will live in the fields - no more paddocks or stalls.
So gallop on, gorgeous. The world's at your feet.
Your eyes shine again, your legs become fleet.
Age will not matter and you will be strong.
So come now, my beauty. It will not be long.
Are you ready, my girl? It is time you were free,
But during your journey, keep remembering me.

I did not write this poem.

losing a rabbit is also sad. I lost my rabbit a few years ago and I still think of her today.. I hope you are ok. It's sad when they have to leave.

That brought me to tears:( she was so beautiful, and makes me dread the day my beautiful boy has to leave which I shouldn't as he is only 8, everyone says "it's just a horse" well not they are not 'just' anything! They are your best friend and never do you wrong, loyal companions who bring you years of joy and never turn their back on you

[Channelsnature]

I've been sick for years. I gave my horse of ten years away... to a friend.... "friends" convinced me he would be better off. That I would be better off.

He left JUne 10 last year.....my heart is raw. I wear it open on my chest. I miss my boy that packed me around cc. I miss my boy who carried me when i was so weak. I miss my boy.....

I miss

i

am not the same since you left.

tears of pain..... tears of joy that you are alive and well. Sound and living in joy every day ... TY
