Scared and alone, I took to your back
Afraid to face the world
Scarred and afraid, I whispered in your mane
Of all my hurts, fears and joys
Laughing and exultant, I shouted out "hurrah"
When we went running through the field
Tickling my hand with your muzzle, I fed you grain
Laying my head against your side, I felt your pain
And joined in with my tears
The vet said it was time to let you go,
And so I petted your side, said my last goodbyes
Held your head while you slipped from this world
And stood alone in the field as the "we" became I
Screaming out your name, stregthened by your love
But missing it all the same

Time flies? Say it not so, time stays we go.
