Take Care And Goodnight

I looked deeply into your
beautiful eyes
Inside I could hear my heartbroken cries.
I knew the answer straight
away
my angel, you had to go away.
Your legs were tired,
your heart was weak
I couldn't help anymore, I wished you could speak.
Instead I had to make the
choice
irresponsible me being your voice!
It was the hardest decision
to ever make
Whether to keep you with me or let the angels you take.
I found it so hard to say
goodbye
I didn't want you to see me cry.
I promised you it would
be okay
I hope it was when you slept that day.
Your final sleep so free
from pain
Your beautiful spirit ran free again.
I wish I had said my final goodbye
I wish I hadn't let you see me cry.
For each day now I cry for
you,
for all the things I would love to do.
To be dragged once again
across the field
To take off over a jump seconds after you squealed.
To kiss you again and say
Goodnight
To see those eyes so cheeky and bright.
I hope that you are happy
now
That you'll come one day and see me somehow.
That you come and visit me
when I'm asleep
And leave me a memory to cherish and keep.
To keep me strong throughout
the day
And help me now you've gone away.
We will meet again when the
time is right
Until then my angel, take care and
Goodnight.
For my beloved horse,
Blaze,
who passed away in August 2006.
