Friend Remembered

Every little girl wants a horse of her very own, and when she gets him she never forgets. Never forgets all the times she tumbled to the ground only to look up and see those liquid brown eyes gazing down at her, waiting for her to get back up. Never forgets the patience he had going around in circles while two little girls pretended to be rodeo stars. And never forgets that final breath he takes when he goes to sleep for the last time, in the company of those now grown up little girls. He was more than a pet. He was a cherished friend, an envied companion, one of the best listeners, and a dream fulfilled.
