That Last Fall

My love for horses runs deep like
A River that flows with no destination and with
No hurry to get where it is going. Every
Day I savor life and with my life there is
Yearning for that perfect ride with every day

I have love and enjoyment for every ride
So I take something good from every experience

My pain from falling is thrown away and forgotten
You must remember the good times and forget the bad

Because to remember the pain or the bad is
An immobilizing thing as fear is then taken
By your heart and these memories freeze
Your heart with it, and you become paralyzed

Go to ride, go to live, but do not fall
Into the jaws of fear, put it aside and
Ride with your head held high and don't
Let that last fall ruin your love for life.
