Ik ben op zoek naar het gedicht voor overleden paarden. Ik weet dat het ergens op Bokt moet staan maar ik kan het niet vinden. Heeft iemand het voor mij?

Welke wil je? De Rainbow bridge? Of het gedicht voor overleden veulens?

Don't Cry For The Horses, by Brenda Riley-Seymore

Don't cry for the horses
That life has set free
A million white horses
Forever to be

Don't cry for the horses
Now in God's hands
As they dance and they prance
To a heavenly band

They were ours as a gift
But never to keep
As they close their eyes
Forever to sleep

Their spirits unbound
On silver wings they fly
A million white horses
Against the blue sky

Look up into heaven
You'll see them above
The horses we lost
The horses we loved

Manes and tails flowing
They Gallop through time
They were never yours
They were never mine

Don't cry for the horses
They will be back someday
When our time has come
They will show us the way

On silver wings they will lift us
To the warmth of the sun
When our life is over
And eternity has begun

We will jump the sun
And dance over the moon
A Ballet of horses and riders
on the winds
to a heavenly tune

Do you hear that soft nicker
Close to your ear?
Don't cry for the horses
Love the ones that are here

Don't cry for the horses
Lift up your sad eyes
Can't you see them
As they fly by?

A million white horses
Free from hunger and pain
Their spirits set free
Until we ride again

My grandest foal

I'll lend you for a little while
My grandest foal, He said.
For you to love while she's alive
And morn for when she's dead.
It may be one or twenty years,
Or days or months, you see.
But, will you, till I take her back
Take care of her for me?
She'll bring her charms to gladden you,
And should her stay be brief
You'll have treasured memories
As solace for your grief.
I cannot promise she will stay,
Since all from earth return.
But, there are lessons taught on earth
I want this foal to learn.
I've looked the wide world over
In my search for teachers true.
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes
With trust I have selected you.
Now will you give her your total love?
Nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come
To take her back again?
I know you'll give her tenderness
And love will bloom each day.
And for the happiness you've known
Forever grateful stay.
But should I come and call for her
Much sooner than you'd planned
You'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And someday you'll understand.
For though I'll call her home to Me
This promise to you I do make
For all the love and care you gave
She'll wait for you, inside Heaven's Gate.

Ik bedoelde de rainbow bridge, maar kon niet meer op de naam komen.
Thanks, Doei!

Deep inside

Lately I’ve been thinking of when we first met,

At once our hearts were joined, and they haven’t parted yet.

Our souls ran free together, side by side.

From each other, there was nothing to fear or hide.

I didn’t need to say a word, you understood my touch.

I responded to your language and loved you very much.

Now i lay here wondering, if these feelings you recall,

Do you ache from all the sadness, or did you escape it all?

Tears fall so often, only pain I can find.

After your sudden exit, I’m the one who’s left behind.

I often look for you, and find an empty stall,

With tears I search my heart, and see you remain after all.

All the memories and joy engraved in my soul,

Survive, even after your death takes its toll.

The wind through my hair reminds me of our rides,

Now the wind whispers to me "you’ll find him deep inside"

Although the pain lives on deep within my heart,

I know you live inside me and our souls will never part

weet niet welk gedicht je bedoeld, vind zelf onderstaand gedicht heel mooi.

Als twee bruine ogen vragen,
Help mij, want ik voel me niet fijn,
Mag je dan, omdat je voelt dit is het einde,
Egoïstisch zijn?

Als je van de dierenarts hoort,
Dit komt nooit meer goed,
En hij krijgt steeds meer pijn,
Mag je dan omdat je hem niet kan missen,
Egoïstisch zijn?

Als twee trouwe ogen zich sluiten voorgoed,
En je zonder hem naar huis toe moet,
Met een halster in je hand,
En je hart vol pijn,
Dan probeer je jezelf te overtuigen,
Ik mocht niet egoïstisch zijn.

Al die tijd met zijn tweetjes,
Elke dag samen was een feest,
En in al die tijd,
Is hij zelf niet een keer,
Egoïstisch geweest……

op onderstaande link staan er nog veel meer, succes ermee!

niet echt over paarden maar de meesten hier hebben ook andere (huis)dieren:

A Breeders Poem...

I love my little kitty, she makes my house a home,
She always is my best friend, I never feel alone.
She makes me smile, she makes me laugh, she fills my heart with love…
Did some breeder breed her? Was she sent down from above ?

I’ve never been a breeder, or seen life through their eyes
I hold my little kitty, just sit and criticize.
I’ve never known their anguish, I’ve never felt their pain,
The caring of their charges, through snow or wind or rain.

I’ve never waited all night long for kittens to be born,
The stress and trepidation when they’re still not there at dawn….
I’ve never felt the heartache of a little life in my hands,
A darling little kitten who weighs just 60 grams!

Should you do that instead of this ? Or this instead of that?
Alone you fight, and hope one day he’ll grow into a cat.
Bring joy to another being and make a house a home
You know it’s all just up to you, you fight this fight alone.

Formula, bottles, heating pads, you’ve got to get this right –
Two hourly feeds for this little mite throughout the day and night.
In your heart you know it, you’ll surely lose the fight
To save this little baby, but God willing, you just might ……..

Day one he’s in there fighting, you say a silent prayer,
Day two and three he’s doing well, with lots of love and care –
Day four and five – he’s still alive, your hopes soar to the heavens !
Day six he slips away again, dies in your hands day seven.

You take this little angel and bury him alone,
With aching heart and burning tears, (and an exhausted groan),
You ask yourself, “Why do this? Why suffer all the pain?”
But see the joy that kittens bring – it really self explains!

So, when you think of breeders and label them with “greed”
Think what they sometimes endure to fill another’s need.
And when you buy a kitten, with pounds and pence you part,
You only pay with money ………………

We pay with our heart.

Bedoel je soms deze?

Lieve baas,

Geef mij te eten en te drinken en zorg voor mij.
Is de dagtaak volbracht geef mij dan onderdak schoon stro en een ruime box.
Spaar mijn gevoelige mond; gebruik geen zweep als ik mijn best doe.
Wees niet ruw als ik je nie direct begrijp, maar geef mij tijd om te leren.

Onderzoek mijn mond als ik niet eet
mogelijk heb ik een zieke tand
Zet mij niet te kort vast en coupeer mijn staart niet,
het is het enige wapen tegen vliegen.

Als ik je niet meer tot nut kan zijn laat mij dan niet verhongeren
of kou lijden.
En tenslotte: Wees goedhartig en geef mij niet aan een andere
baas als ik oud wordt.

Vergeef mij mijn oneerbiedigheid als ik dit alles vraag in de naam
van Hem die zelf ook in een stal geboren werd.

Vind deze heel mooi.

Er zijn er zoveel die ik leuk vind....zo kwam ik laatst deze tegen:

When your day seems out of balance

by MaryAnn Miller

When your day seems out of balance-
And so many things go wrong.
When people fight around you,
And the day drags on so long....

When parents act like children
In-laws make you think "Divorce,"
Go out into your pasture...
Wrap your arms around your horse.

His gentle breath enfolds you,
As he watches with those eyes...
He may not have a PhD,
But he is Oh so wise!

His head rests on your shoulder
You embrace him good and tight;
He puts your world in balance.
And makes it seem all right.

Your tears will soon stop flowing,
The tension is now eased.
The garbage has been lifted
You'll be quiet and at peace.

So when you need the balance
From circumstances in your day
The best therapy you can seek-
Is out there chomping hay!

Inheritance Ignored

By Robert M. Miller, D.V.M.

"It's a shame," I said to Walt.
"Her conformation's filled with fault.
Her head is plain. Her neck is ewe.
Her back is long. Her tail askew.
Her shoulder straight, back at the knees;
She toes out in front, you'll notice please.
Offset cannons and splints you see.
This mare, I fear, will never be
A racing prospect, or good for show;
Brittle feet with seedy toe.

Four years old, already lame
In both forelegs; in back the same.
Problems to worsen eventually
Because she's built inadequately.
Her hip is short. Her croup is low.
The right fore tendon's begun to bow.
She cribs, you know, and lolls her tongue -
Too many vices in a mare so young.
And when she's worked to desperation,
She wheezes with each respiration.

Her teeth are bad. She overbites.
With other mares she always fights.
When she trots she'll weave and bobble.
Her hind end has a definite wobble.
Now melanoma in horses gray
Is very commonplace I'd say.
But these masses `neath her tail are bad.
In a mare so young it makes me sad.
I hate to bear such tragic news:
You might as well just pull her shoes.
And stop her training as of now.
You cannot ride her anyhow."

Walt looked at me and then replied,
"The guy who sold her surely lied.
He told me that she was so great,
And I so eager, could hardly wait,
To load her up and take her home,
To pay for her, make her my own.
Well, no matter," said Walt aloud,
"She'll make a broodmare fine and proud.

We'll breed her soon and get repaid
For the investment that I made.
I know a stallion with a fee so low
He's laid up for a year or so.
He's got navicular disease they say.
But his stud fee I guess I'll pay;
And raise a foal so this young mare
Will pay her way and earn her fare.
Don't you agree, Doc, with my plan?"
I answered him ... I told the man:

"Like begets like. You've heard that said?
This foal you're planning, in your head,
Is good for business-mine, I mean.
Foals like this, I have seen,
Are useful to support a vet.
Because of many defects, yet
Our voice is often heard alone
Warning breeders, `Do not condone
The breeding of inferior sire
To inferior mare if you desire
To produce foals to improve the breed.
Breed best to best, that's all you need.

Now listen you breeders of puppy dogs
And cats and sheep and cows and hogs,
For your own species just change the name.
The principles are still the same.
Like begets like. It's in the genes,
Controlled by DNA it seems.
Breed best to best, it's your only chance
For offspring that will the breed enhance

They Took My Boy Away - Jack Meagher

"A horse is just a horse." that's the term so often used
To salve the human conscience when horses get abused.
Abuse takes place in many forms, but i'm sure there is no other
that compares with stealing a child away from it's own mother

There must be something lacking in the human heart, or brain
If they cannot realize the devastating pain
They caused to me when they walked in here one day
and without the slightest thought or pause, took my child away

I watched my baby boy's first steps on wobbly legs that buckled
I remember the anxiety I felt 'til he finally learned and suckled
How he stayed so close to me his skin would actually chafe
as he learned of this world from the one place he felt safe

Everyday he grew stronger, uncertain steps became a stride
Yet he never ventured very far from my protective side.
When some little noise would frighten him, and agains my side he pressed
The glow that spread inside of me was truly heaven blessed.

I've been good to human children, as kind as I could be
And I never believed that you would do this terrible thing to me
Therefore, I trusted you when you came and took him out
I thought you'd surely bring him back after walking him about
But then I heard the van pull up, and heard it stop outside
And then I heard my baby's voice, sounding terrified
"Mama, mama, I'm afraid of what they're going to do!
I don't want to go with them! Mama! Where are you??"

I stand here in my lonely stall, too destroyed to think
Eventhough I'm thirsty, I hurt too much to drink
I cannot close my eyes or the vision will take place
Of that handsome son of mine, that impish little face
I'll see that comic walk of his, that cute still legged bounce
The quiver of his lower lip, how his baby tail would flounce
I'll never get to watch him grow, never answer to his cry,
And never even had the chance to kiss my boy goodbye

Deze hebben wij voor Doosje gebruikt.

Her Journey's Just Begun!

Don't think of her as gone away, her journey's just begun.
Life holds so many facets, this earth is only one.

Just think of her as resting from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years.

Think how she must be wishing that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness can really pass away.

And think of her as living in the hearts of those she touched,
for nothing loved is ever lost...and she was loved so much..

Wat een mooie gedichten! Heb helaas van de mijne vorige week afscheid moeten nemen en vond dat gedicht van egoisme erg mooi!
