I wrote a poem, here it is

Stopped to tighten cinch, this one seems to always distend, guess it is his way of having a say.

Thinking of trails we’ve shared, now moving smoothly, understanding each other as only respect can bring.

Knot head, spirited, been some trouble, doesn’t matter. Today, this one is right. 



Leathery hands clasp the horn as stirrups swallow boots. 

Deep in the saddle, ready for the trail

Haven’t ridden this trail before, but know this one is right.



Cool February morning, light peaking over the mountain

Puffing steam as he worked the trail

Morning seemed perfect, trail length unknown, but know this one is right



Trail moves forward as side brush run up the hill

Good trail, over the years been many trails

Some rough, some easy, certainly grateful for each



Sharing trails with a loving companion, a blessing

Trails brought wonderful children, beautiful grandchildren

Spiritually she rides with me today, but this one trail, is mine alone



Brooklet rambles subsequently beside the trail

Water rolls over hidden rock and then smoothes at crossing

A small step really, nothing difficult in reaching the other side



He’s waiting, waiting for our interview

Such peace, such beauty, hands pierced, loving sacrifice for me

Embrace, tears, joy, eternally home, this one is right.



Perfect trail, this trail, last trail, right trail
