I SEE YOU

I see you,

I see the worries you carry,
the thoughts unspoken,
the steps untaken

to feel more at ease,
to appease your troubled soul,

I see you,

I know how pain
carved a path,
left a mark emblazoned
on your tender heart,

no need to explain
how you’re feeling,

there is never a need
to speak of it again,

be still with me,
we will heal together.

There is a well-known quote in the horse world by Buck Brannaman that says horses offer a mirror to your soul. Your horse sends messages to you, reflecting to you what they sense and opening the opportunity for you to face your deepest fears, insecurities, and the emotions you tend to bury. But they also are willing to show you the beauty that is inside of you. Vista Verde.com

An emerging body of scientific evidence indicates that interacting with horses improves health and well-being and can help people with numerous physical and mental health conditions, from children living with motor disabilities to adults grappling with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

This is me in ‘59,

part skeptical,
part wise,
part shy,

unsure of my place,
or what I will face
In years to come,

Yet, I’m still here,

more wise than shy,
more trusting than not,
more hopeful than not,

more sure of my place,
and ready to face
the years ahead,

thankful for family and friends
who make my world whole,
and wholly worthwhile,

Peace and love to each of you.
