//------------------------------// // Ode to Scootaloo // Story: The Spike Poem Anthology II // by Zephyr Spark //------------------------------// When I look at Scootaloo, I see the heart of every pony The heart that never stops marching that never stops trying The heart that moves forward to shape destiny The heart that will never surrender her dream of flying. My heart knows your dream is my dream too My heart had given up that dream years ago But you reignited that dream, Scootaloo You returned my heart’s hopeful glow. How can I see you and not be inspired? You never stop believing in yourself, you never stop trying your best Your determination is something kings would admire It pushes you past your pain and your limits, makes you stand above the rest. Your heart is a tapestry of art that enlivens us to reach new heights Your heart like the sun strengthens us through her light.
