"Just A Horse"
From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a horse," or, '"that's a lot of money, for just a horse". They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a horse."
Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a horse." Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a horse," but I did not once feel slighted.
Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a horse," and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a horse" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the dark.
Those who think it's "just a horse," probably also use phrases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise."
"Just a horse" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. 'Just a horse' brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person.
Because of "just a horse" I rise early, take long walks, and look longingly to the future. So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a horse", but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.
"Just a horse" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday others have the opportunity to understand that it's not "just a horse" but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a woman."
So the next time you hear the phrase "just a horse", smile. You are one of the blessed few who understands.

"Blessed Are The Animals"
Their days are like raindrops on time's windowpane,
each trickles away and will not come again;
but blessed are they as their goodness shines through
and changes the raindrops to diamonds of dew!
Their years are like leaves that float to the ground
in colors of emerald and amber and brown;
and blessed are they whose "leaves", as they fall,
form a blanket of beauty that comforts us all!
Their lives are like clouds that swiftly sail by
and are gone in a moment from Eternity's sky;
but blessed are they who turn grey clouds to white,
whose love shines like stars on the canvas of night!
Pet's souls are like angels with wings that are furled,
assigned to each mortal who dwells in this world;
and blessed are they whose love conquers strife,
the animals are beacons that brighten each life!
