A Natural Girl

In fields where dreams and hoofbeats blend,

A young girl’s heart finds a faithful friend,

Horses gallop, their spirits free,

As her laughter echoes in the sea.

With manes that dance in windswept grace,

She finds her joy in their spirited chase,

Their gentle nuzzles, a language true,

Speak volumes only her heart construes.

Yet in this bond, there’s room to spare,

For dogs with eyes that deeply care,

Their loyalty, a love that’s pure,

In every bark, in every lure.

In morning light or twilight’s hush,

Their presence, a comforting, gentle touch,

She runs with dogs in joyful play,

Her heart alight in their loving way.

For in these creatures, her soul finds glee,

Horses and dogs, both wild and free,

Their love, a tale forever spun,

In the heart of a girl, under the sun.
