Two year old, quiet, head down going up that mountain,
Eric talking too much , not watching , listening ,feeling
should have had his mouth shut.
Hard lessons learned,
should have seen that horse when she finally spun
cut through those woods ,
down that mountain at a dead run ,
through trees , pine gullies.
had a fight of my own when the stud wanted to follow.
That boy sure was quiet going out of the valley two broken legs,
busted lip and bested by a little filly,
he just did not take the time to listen,
to fear, confusion and anger.
