You may look at me and think “Oh, how tragic”
But really my life is so full of magic!
You will see when you know the source
I master my world when I ride a horse.
I never get to walk on my own you see,
Mobility is a daily struggle for me,
But when the weather’s fine, I get to ride
Then my happiness, I cannot hide.
I discovered this magic when I was two
I couldn’t sit up straight, it was a real issue.
Five years later, I can sit proud and tall
My Mom always watches me in awe.
While my horse trots I giggle with delight,
Riding each week is an amazing highlight
I feel so lucky every time I ride
I am filled with a happiness that I cannot hide.
