May 11th, 2012 to August 28th, 2018 R.I.P. My Best Friend You were here for such a short time I can feel your spirit within me and around me and in the pasture with the others you left behind You were one of a kind Your personality like no other You were King of the pasture With some work and persistence you learned to respect me as the leader of the herd  (most days) Our relationship grew into an amazing friendship A bond like I've never felt before You amazed me everyday Your colors as beautiful as the sun A coat mostly a deep red and gold Your Mane and Tail mostly black with red highlights Your movement was free and bold Your gallop the best Your Mane and Tail blowing up into the wind Your chest rhythmically drawing air into your lungs Your nostrils flaring in excitement with some snorting too When you arrived here into my pasture and my heart You were a force to be reckoned with as a Stallion Gelding you didn't change you into a docile horse as expected Your personality was yours and nothing would change it You were my favorite You will forever be in my heart I miss you everyday I miss your kisses with your warm and wet tongue I miss you following me around to see what I was doing I even miss when you tried to use my head as your chin rest I didn't even mind when you were pushy or stepped on my toes I loved warming my hands on your neck under your thick mane I loved knowing that when I looked into your beautiful brown eyes I knew you were looking back at me with love and understanding It was the saddest night of my life when you had to leave us behind The unfortunate accident that changed our destiny A moment of time that can never be taken back   That whole day is forever emblazoned in my mind You left us no choice but to send you back to God to run in His golden pastures You will never be hungry or thirsty or cold ever again Best part is no more pain Wild and Free forever in the light of heaven's pastures I will see you again someday when my time comes I know this in my heart and soul You are physically gone from our lives but you will never be forgotten You are and will always be our Lucky  Always in the hearts of those that loved you most I will love you forever Author: Julia LaRae Vogel

I have written and rewritten this so many times. The first was written right after his death. The second was a try at making it less like a story and more like a poem, it continued to be a draft. Now I hope it gets published as a poem.
