Sometimes we’re blessed with special friends
Who come into our lives.
They often are our relatives,
Our husbands or our wives.



And many times, these special friends
Have legs that number four,
And have a special gift to help
Our lives and spirits sore.



Well, that’s the kind of special friend
We’ve had for many years.
He helped us grow and learn so much,
And loved us through our fears.



We’ve came to love this equine friend
Who won a cherished prize.
He’ll always be “Horse of the Year”
Our Much loved friend, Streetwise.
