My Finest Friend

My finest friend comes from a different source He speaks no words with no hands to hold Yet he will watch me with patient remorse And my most suffering secrets stay untold For our friendship is bound not by bracelets But by partnership, knowledge and trust My finest friend holds no grudges, no regrets Only me on his back as the ground turns to dust His eyes like chocolate pools melt away my misery For when my finest friend is near, I cannot cry He is my discovery, together we are history Jewels in a crown, the wind in the sky He can carry me away as fast as a fire Or stand still with me with soft inquire An affinity that has no end My dearest horse, my finest friend
