THIMBLEGRAY....

 

 

Today a deviation from the norm...thought this might intrigue you as much as it did me.  For all you horse lovers ~ THIMBLEGRAY~

 

 

Today I joined and now I'll stay.

I'm going to dance the night away.

I'll be myself and never fear

That they will find my hideaway.

I built myself house today

From pine wood, paint, and papier mache.

I drew a crane above my bed.

The perfect little hideaway.

I met a horse on the road today.

I stopped and asked if he would stay

Up at my house and watch the stars

That grace the sky far, far away.

The horse's name was Thimblegray.

He took me up far, far away

To touch the stars that fall to earth

And come to chase bad dreams away.

The bad dreams found my hideaway

I told them all to go away

I cried and pleaded till I choked.

And good dreams faded into grey .

That night I fought and ran away.

I ran find my Thimblegray.

Beside an old dry river bed

I found him eating scarlet hay.

I told him of my hideaway

And how I'd finally run away

He told me to go back to sleep

"These things," he said, "are for the day."

I wept when I saw the hideaway.

I held on tight to Thimblegray.

He let me cry into his mane

Because he had no words to say.

Then, to the sky flew Thimblegray.

He took me up far, far away

To touch the stars that fall to earth

And come to chase bad dreams away.

I fell asleep on Thimblegray.

The devious dreams were sent away.

They fell to earth and turned to rain

In drops of blue and silver ray

Today I joined and now I'll stay.

I'm going to dance the night away.

I'll be myself and never fear

That they will find my hideaway.
