Lady (Horse Poem) Poem by Angela Wybrow

Of my girl, Lady, I feel so fond;
The two of us share a special bond.
I haven't owned her all that long,
But the trust between us is so strong.

There was a time when she felt sad -
When a previous owner treated her bad.
But with me she's found a brand new start;
I love her dearly - with all of my heart.

She's a gypsy cob - black and white,
And thirteen point two hands in height.
I love to sit and watch her play:
It chases my blues and cares away.

To her, sometimes I sing a song:
She swishes her tail and nods along.
Her funny little ways make me smile,
And I can forget the world for a while.

She brightens up the dullest of days
With her constant love and playful ways.
Across her paddock, she will canter,
To share with me some friendly banter.

When I feel sad and teardrops glisten,
Lady is always there to listen.
My heart returns the love she's giving;
She makes my life so worth living.

As a young girl, I had a bad fall:
Between myself and the saddle, I built a wall.
But she's helping me get my confidence back -
The confidence which I so greatly lacked.

I know she'll love me no matter what;
Such a special friend, I know I've got.
She is the stand-out from a crowd;
To be her owner, I'm just so proud.
