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 day.
If you think it's 'just a horse'.
