I wait - the still, hot sun above - before a stern gallery of black-eyed susans, I wait. My pounding heart my only sense, among the green and gold silence, I wait. Then, a flash of bay and wine, the pounding hooves come closer. My heart swells as she flies, this golden child of my heart. Then she's gone, the flowers nodding their approval of a job well done.
Reason for writing:
My daughter, Robin, rides cross-country events. She is
a brave, accomplished rider, and the pride of my heart.
To watch her control a 1200-pound Thoroughbred with such
skill and grace is a marvel to me - after all, she's still
my baby.
