Poem From Man To Horse
I'd like to be the kind of friend, the friend you are to me
I'd like to be the kind of friend, that’s there but lets you be.
I'd like to be the kind of friend just so I can repay
I'd like to be the kind of friend, that never would betray.
Cause when I went through hardships, I knew I could press on
Undaunted in my darkest hours with you to lean upon
You carried me through thick and thin, you helped me conquer lands
You let me steer you step by step your leads in my cold hands
You died for me in battlefields, you overcame your fears
You helped me grow and make a living all throughout the years
I wish I didn’t break your trust and cruelly let you die
I’d like to give you all the answers when you ask me why
Greed is something terrible, it kills you in the end
I’m sorry that I made you think that I was your friend.
I am oh so powerful, convinced it is my right
That I can send you far away, the cruelty out of sight
Mostly I’m closed minded and don’t think that I can see
That I am in my thoughts alone and think of only me.
Perform until you can no more, you are fast because I ask
I know you give me all you can and it’s no easy task.
All you want is love and praise and you are never cruel
If I could just be more like that and less of such a fool
I’d like to be the kind of friend who deserves all that you give
I’d like to be the kind of friend who leaves you where you live
I’d like to say I’m sorry horse, and know that you have heard
I wish that I could heal the pain and sorrow I have stirred
And what you always do for me, Id like to do for you
Wipe the grays from out your skies and leave them only blue.
So if I only had one wish then here’s what it would be
I’d like to be the kind of friend, the friend you are to me.
