Dearest God In heaven, |
|
|
|
Give me the strength to guide my horse. |
|
|
|
Make my hands soft and my head clear. |
|
|
|
Let my horse understand me and I him. |
|
|
|
My
heart you have blessed with a special love of these animals, Let me
never lose sight of it. |
|
|
|
My
soul you have gifted with a deep need for them, let that need never
lessen. |
|
|
|
Always let my breath catch as the sun gleams on elegant head. |
|
|
|
Always may my throat tighten at the sound of gentle nicker. |
|
|
|
Let the scent of fresh hay and a new bag of grain always be sweet to me. |
|
|
|
Let the warm touch of a warm nose on my hand always bring a smile. |
|
|
|
I
adore the joy of a warm day on the farm. |
|
|
|
The grace and splendor of a running horse, the thunder of its hooves
makes my eyes burn and my heart soar, let it always be so. |
|
|
Dearest God grant me patience, for horses are harnessed wind and wind
can be flighty. |
|
|
|
|
|
Let me not frighten or harm them, instead show me ways to understand
them. Above all, dear God, fill my life with them. |
|
|
|
When I pass from this world, send my soul to no heaven without them. |
|
|
|
For this love you have given me, graces my existence and I shall cherish
it and praise you for it for all time. |
|
|
|
Amen |
|
