Last week we took a little ride
My Mommy, Dad and me
Just going no where special
All backroads we would see

My eyes grew big as saucers
at all the country charm
Especially when we spotted
that big old "horsey" farm

The man came out to greet us
Asked us in to look
I never saw a horse up close
Just pictures in a book

He looked at me and smiled
Said - "How'd you like to ride?"
How excited I became
The thrill I could not hide

That day will live forever
that day I nearly cried
Because it was so special
My first real "Pony" ride
