"My
treasures do not ching together or glitter.
They gleam in the sun
and neigh in the night."
-old Arab
proverb

Don't Cry for the Horses
Don't cry for the
horses that
Life has set
free,
A million white
horses
Forever to
be.
Don't cry for the
horses
Now in God's
hands,
As they dance and
they prance
To a heavenly
band.
They were ours as
a gift
But never to
keep,
As they close their
eyes
Forever to
sleep.
Their spirits
unbound
On silver wings
they fly,
A million white
horses
Against the blue
sky.
Look up into
heaven
You'll see them
above,
The horses we
lost
The horses we
loved.
Manes and tails
flowing
They gallop through
time,
They were never
yours,
They were never
mine.
Don't cry for the
horses
They will be back
someday.
When our time has
come
They will show us
the way.
On silver wings
they will lift us
To the warmth of
the sun
When our life is
over
And eternity has
begun.
We will jump the
sun
And Dance over the
moon,
A ballet of horses
and riders
On the winds to
a heavenly tune.
Do you hear that
soft nicker
Close to your
ear?
Don't cry for the
horses
Love the ones that
are here.
Don't cry for the
horses
Lift up your sad
eyes,
Can't you see
them
As they fly
by?
A million white
horses
Free from hunger
and pain,
Their spirits set
free
Until we ride
again.

Letting Go
Close by the stall
door she passed to stand
As she took his
halter in her hand.
All who were watching
didn't dare speak
As a silent tear
ran down her cheek.
All through her
mind memories ran,
Of the times they
walked his ears pricked forward to her future
plan.
But now his eyes
look cold...
She'll never ride
him again or have his precious head to hold.
All were silent
as she bent down near,
To whisper "I love
you" in his ear.
In touching his
face she started to cry,
She looked at his
halter and wanted to die.
And just as the
wind began to blow,
She watched his
spirit gallop off through the snow.
"The
choice of one's horse oft' times reflects circumstance as well as the inspiration
and dreams of the horseman. But, there are few who have seen the Arabian
in full stride, or beheld the depth of his dark eye who could deny that they
have fleetingly sensed the swaying palms of the oasis, and briefly heard
the eternal sigh of lonely desert winds. Is it just imagination, or
is there something more to this remarkable animal who openly displays his
affinity for man?"
-Gladys Brown Edwards,

the
Arabian Horse"

Please
Don't Cry
How sad for you
all
When you look in
my stall,
And no longer
see
Where I used to
be.
But please do not
cry,
My Sprit is
alive.
And it’s only
on earth
That my life is
through.
So here is my
message,
My message for all
of you.
I felt such
love
And warm hands on
my sides.
I nuzzled my Mom’s
neck
As she tried not
to cry.
And as you
all
Started to
pray,
I wanted to tell
you
It would be
okay.
I saw this amazing
light
Brighter than
day,
And then horses
with wings
Showed me the
way.
I was feeling so
strong
As I galloped
along.
When all of a
sudden,
In this center of
light
I saw a green
pasture
Bigger than
life.
The horses with
wings
That sparkled like
gold,
Said: “Hey
Beautiful,
Princess,
Behold..........”
There was my
Creator
Encircled by
light,
Showing me my
everlasting life.
With horses gathering
at His side,
I knew right away
I hadn’t died.
So try not to
cry
And please rest
assured,
I will be waiting
for you
With my Heavenly
Herd.

"A
horse is the projection of peoples' dreams about themselves - strong, powerful,
beautiful - and it has the capability of giving us escape from our mundane
existence."
-Pam
Brown
The
Arabian Horse
When God decided
to create the horse, he spoke to the south
wind:
"Condense yourself:
I shall make of you a new creature to honor my saints, to demean my enemies,
as a tribute to those who obey my command."
The south wind
said: "Create it, Oh God!"
Then God took a
handful of the south wind, breathed over it and created the horse.
He said: "Your name shall be Arabian. Let goodness be bound to your
forelock and bounty to your back. I have favored you over all other
beasts of burden. I have made your owner your friend. I have
given you the power to fly without wings!"

Give
Me The Strength
God give me the
strength and wisdom to know,
When it is time
to let my baby go.
Give me the courage
to have enough heart to be
Able to let go and
give her life a new start.
Help me through
the tears and pain
And make me see
I will smile again.
The memories I hold
deep in my heart
Will never leave,
will never part.
I love my baby so
much you know,
I watched her from
a baby grow.
How do I say goodbye
to this
And all the things
I know I'll miss?
But if your love
is strong and true
When that time comes
you'll know what to do.
Our selfish side
will say "Oh no, you must not
Leave, you cannot
go. I need you here with me so bad,
I can't let go it
will be too sad".
But in my Heart
I know what's right--
To set you free,
to give you flight.
I know someday at
the bridge we'll meet
And our reunion
will be so sweet.
For all my life
until my end, I will remember you
My loving
friend.
I know you'll be
waiting patiently for me to join
You one fine
day.
And we'll be forever
together to stay.
So God please, now
please help me through
The painful thing
that I must do.
It's
an act of love, though painful, yes true.
But
I do it out of my love for you.
As you close your
eyes and pass on through.
You're taking a
part of my heart with you.
Goodbye my love,
for now we part,
You will always
be inside my heart.
