Walking Away It took so much strength and courage to walk away from you My head was going crazy, forcing my hand to run back to you You see it was the most painful thing that I’ve ever had to do To walk away from my beloved horse, so bright, so brave and true You fought this long hard battle right from the start I know just how hard you tried to keep us from being torn apart Seeing you in so much pain, oh how it cut me like a knife I just couldn’t stop this illness from taking away your life I tried in so many ways, to keep you here with me But I knew just how selfish it would be, if I didn’t set you free So as I looked with such sadness deep into your precious eyes, I whispered to you our sweet and fond final goodbyes Forgive me that I couldn’t take the last stand with you I was only going to upset you and make things much harder too I didn’t want you to see me fighting back my tears, as I finally faced up to my worst fears For this day that was upon us, I knew shouldn’t have been for another ten years We’d won so many battles before this and life returned back to bliss I just couldn’t imagine our lives without each other, oh how I terribly do miss I long to be beside you and throw my arms around your neck You're the only one that can save me, for I have become an emotional wreck I need to hear your sweet gentle whinny, oh please do come back This world is so lonely without you and so is your tack You'd follow my lead wherever we would go I miss you so much, it's all too painful to know I’ve shed so many tears; I feel they will never dry I know I will spend my whole lifetime, trying hard to understand why I’ve been left with a bitter emptiness deep within my soul My heart is forever broken and only you can fill this hole. For you see my stunning Rosie, I loved you right from the start The crazy, wild grey thoroughbred mare, who struck a chord deep within my heart I know that our special bond will go on forever and will never die For I know that you are waiting patiently for me and that is why it’s not goodbye. Rest in peace, my beautiful lady. You were taken away from me far too soon. I am missing you more than anyone will ever know. Thank you for 12 wonderful years, you have taught me so much about horses and myself! I am so proud that I had the pleasure of owning you. It was a bit stressful in the beginning, but you were only a baby. However you turned out to be my ultimate dream horse. Perfect in every respect. Your character and personality were always second to none - you truly were faultless. There will never be another like you. You truly are one in a million. You are the most stunning horse I have ever known. I love you more than words can ever say. I know that you are watching over Danny and myself. Keep waiting for me, I can’t wait to be with you again someday. May your spirit live on always. Missing you every day. All my Love always, Your Carolyn xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (3 months and counting….)
