 Chyna, GoodbyeAll good and bad things must come to an endso we say goodbye to our dear friend we had you since you were six month old but you had to get out, you couldn't be told you were our Houdini, nothing was too hard why did you have to escape, was it for a laugh? I put you inside an electric fence you slipped on through, it had no defense It was not enough to get out, you had to take your sister in the freezing snow we had to go and get you lead you back through the neighbours land or drive miles around the road lead you in hand we put in a gateway and gave you more room you were happy for awhile yet all too soon you were out again and cut your leg real bad you could have bled to death and made your Papa sad We thought you would be happy with us for a long time you are of such amiable nature, taking everything in stride your papa had hoped you would both go for a ride we waited until you were older so your bones were strong All winter long this year you stayed inside you did not even look, attempt to even try yet as soon spring came, you were out again until a neighbour called me up to complain a very hard decision about you had to be made we could not keep you anymore your bed was made we put you up for sale and soon you were bought and today you left on the trailer, going to the north Papa could not be here to see you on your way he could not bare to be around to give you a wave he loves you, so don't forget to remember me Goodbye dear friend, the month you turned three At your new home their fences are sturdier and I think you will stay put with your new owner who loved you on her first look new playmates and new lessons, being ridden daily you'll love it and I know you'll do dandy Papa and I will come and visit you real soon see how you are doing, and what you have learned I know you miss Harmony as she misses you I will tend her more daily so she will not be blue Amanda Martin-Shaver © 9 May 2009
