ME AND MY BEAUTIFUL BAY
------------------------
I remember when i first got her,
She was my christmas surprise.
I saw her standing in the stall -
I couldn't believe my eyes.
I remember when i first rode her
Through the woods that saturday.
The snow covered the forest floor
As I rode my beautiful bay.
Sunlight shone around us
As we darted around the trees.
I wanted to ride all day long,
Wishing the day would never cease.
Horse and rider in perfect harmony,
We were united together.
Nothing in our minds but happiness,
It was a day I'll always remember.
And as the years progressed,
Our friendship grew so strong,
We were always seen together,
We had formed a special bond.
All the way from our first horse show
To the Nationals in Greenbay,
We'd been everywhere, seen it all,
Me and my beautiful bay.
And now, because of colic
In my arms her big head lies.
I hear the vet say quietly,
"I think shes going to die."
Her breaths are getting shorter
As her eyelids slowly close.
I whisper to her, "i love you"
Even though she already knows.
As her last breath draws out slowly
And the tears stream down my cheeks,
I rub her white blaze one last time,
So silky smooth and sleek.
