Lightning






1972 to October 10, 1997


He was a part of our lives for such a long time,
that we wouldn't trade not even for the most valuable dime.
Then before you know it the years have flown by,
and then all of the sudden we're saying good-bye.


It wasn't that long ago we said our good-byes,
we talked to you softly as you closed your eyes.
Your spirit has flown home on the wings of a dove,
into God's loving arms; in Heaven above.

Over the days we've shed many tears,
but the wonderful memories we have will live on for years.
We feel your presence and we know that you're near,
you're keeping us safe and calming our fear.

We think about memories from years past,
when you were young and strong and galloped so fast.

We remember all the great times that we all had,
they were the best and happiest years, not bad,
we'll always look back on them and never be sad.

We look forward to the time we'll be together again
and we thank the Lord for such a great four-legged friend.

Now you whinny and play up in Heaven above,
cradled in God's arms covered with his love.
Eating sweet grass by the Bridge waiting for the day,
we come through the meadow to the Bridge to stay.

The love that we have for you we'll never forget,
because to us you're one very special pet.
You're like a star in the dark of night,
always watching over us with the Lord's light.

So now we take time to remember our pony friend,
who will always be with us even to the end.
We'll always remember you the way you were
one little, lovable, huggable, pile of fur :)
