My Teacher, My Friend

Ode to my horse riding instructor. I wouldn't be me without her.

You taught me to dream
You taught me to fly
You gave me courage
To reach for the sky

You picked me up
Whenever I fell
And when I did good
You would always tell

You pushed me to jump
Over every fence and log
And do you remember
When I jumped over the dog

You encouraged me
At every single show
And every ribbon and trophy
I owe to you, I know

For these reasons
I would like to say
Thank you, my friend
For showing me the way
