I stood in silence
Tears running down my face
Unstoppable saddness
My time to say goodbye
Came so unknowingly
But yet I couldn't let you go under the surface
Not, without my goodbye
As I stood before you
I just thought about the good times
I said my last words to you
I picked up a shovel and some dirt
On you, I threw the dirt
The thump frightened me
It was so unique
I'll never forget that thump
For it was the last I saw of you
My beloved horse and friend
And the tears that came that day
Only gave me strength
I found that day, what death really was
I found that it was a part of life
You were the first thing I lost
But I know not the last
