I Once was a little girl, that loved her horse, of course.

 

I Once was a little girl, that needed a friend, of course.

 

I Once was a little girl, that wished to be noticed.

 

I Once was a little girl, that seemed lost to the real world.

 

 

 

-----------------------------------------------

I played with my horse, of course.

 

I found a friend in him, again and again.

 

I was noticed as we rode and competed to win.

 

Now I have found a world....where just my horse and I are in.

 

 

 

----------------------------------------------

Time has gone by, and though I am still young, I am no longer little.

 

I no longer need the companionship of others to get through my days.

 

I have many friends, but they are not all in my world...of course.

 

I am happiest....when I am with my horse of course.
