Poem for Shining Armor

Shine! Shine!

Little Stallion, live for Love.

live for life!

Live Forever!

Shine on!

but nothing’s Forever, no…

Shine on!

(your Sister)

Shine on!

(your Daughter)

Shine on!

(your Wife)

No!

Every sun Bursts, every sparkle has its Twilight.

So Shine, Shine, Forever!

but Sun Breaks. 

No, no!

Forever is a long time.

Without you.

so Shine! Shine!

Shine on, as you will.

As you can.

If you can…

Burst, Break! Brittle frame! Brain strains!

Try as you might!

Try as you might to Shine!

and the hoof lays softly, over the side of the bed…

and the words come out limp, over the side of the bed…

and the gleam drains slowly, over the side of the bed…

so Shine! if you can.

Shine! while you can.

they'll miss you, remember that.

your Shine is all they have.

Your shine is all they have.
