Quadrille 3.25

When I'm on the horse

When I'm on the horse I feel omongst equals
straight back, head held high, like all the riders
all the differences and the disabilities suddenly disappear
and slowly the dream comes true.

When I'm on the horse, gather the reins and start to ride,
I discover a special path before me, a golden path
there I am brave like a warrior before the battle
and al my body speaks to me,
saying " you'll succeed, you can do it"

When I'm on the horse, life looks totally different
suddenly my disabilities fall away and disintergrate
suddenly my dreams and desieres are withim my reach
mostly I'm certain that I'm not alone.

When I dismount the horse, slowly, carefully,
I land on the ground to the reality,
return the riding clothes and return to be a disabled person
but I always am left with a sweet afterthought.

Riding the horse is a wonderful experience
it gives joy to my heart and peace to my soul
the time is short, the succes is great
When its over, I know that next week i will experience again.
