Hello sweetheart
hows everything today
see the sun come up
I love you so much
this piece of my heart
right here belongs to you
no one can steal it no one
can take it away
Remember the day we found each other
the people were being so cruel to you
They did not understand
I had to be very careful
If the wrong thing was said
you would be gone
only 18 months old I could
hardly keep the anger from my face
I did though baby yes I did my face serene
voice calm as I watched you move
trying to get away from the pain
the bones in your legs not yet grown together
you bucked the woman off
and you began to run
trying to out run the pain
they had kerosene and chains on your feet
I almost cheered when you cleared the riding ring
Hard to listen as they cursed you
asked Amy if she was hurt
gave sympathy when I did not want too
kept watch for you from the corner of my eye
stable hand brought you around
you had been bought out of Alabama
Triple registered beautiful
even at your awkward age
The woman wanted to be a show rider
remember..and she had fear in her eyes
when she looked at you
Joe rode you then with spurs and a crop
he tied your head down I held back the tears
Leaving you was never an option he rode
until you were falling and bleeding from the mouth
I lost it then they had to call my husband
would not let anyone near you trying to get you on
your feet before you died.
He came in that big red duly
with our horse trailer
I knew when I saw the trailer
it would be OK we took you home.
I still don't know how much he paid them
we had pinto beans and kool aid for a long time
so it must have been a lot
they were scared of him he is a big man our hero
now ten years later look at us we have had so much fun
I love you so I always will
my Rocket my love my friend
