A Chance to Touch the Sky

A little girl’s dreams are magical things,

And if she’s lucky, they can give her wings.

 A dream, a chance to touch the sky,

Horse as her guide, she learned how to fly.

Whether elegant strides, or difficult rides,

Jumps and falls that made her cry,

Fears were taught be pushed aside,

Because dreams can’t live until you try.

It’s amazing what a horse can provide,

Strength, love, and humbled pride

Responsibility, self-esteem,

All because a little girl followed her dream.

A dream, a chance to touch the sky,

Horse as her guide, she learned how to fly.
