ð

idotter Skikkja var död. Hon skickade även ett fin dikt. Författaren är okänd.

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 hand-
As they dance and they prance in 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'll be back someday.-

When our Time is gone, they will show us the way.-
Do you hear that soft nicker? Close to your ear?-

Don't cry for the horses. Love the ones that are here.-
