For Robin
From all her friends at The Snowflake Society
Don't cry for the horses, that life has set free
A million white horses forever to be
Don't cry for the horses, now in God's hands
As they dance and they prance to a heavenly band
They were ours as a gift, but never to keep
As they close their eyes , forever to sleep
Their spirits unbound, on silver wings they fly
A million white horses, against the blue sky
Look up into heaven, you'll see them above
The horses we lost, the horses we loved
Manes and tails flowing, they gallop through time,
They were never yours, they were never mine
Don't cry for the horses, they will be back someday
When our time has come, they will show us the
way.
Do you hear that soft knicker, close to your ear?
Don't cry for the horses, love the ones that are
here.
