| It all started during a storm one night The thunder was fierce, The sky was alight In the stable stood a mare, Her legs a thrashing All around the lightning was flashing "Forever Lady Dominique" was the mares name Dressage and Showjumping once were her game Put to a stallion by the name of "Ivors Lad" The famous racehorse "Sir Ivor" was this lads dad A few hours passed, The mare she was ready "Quick, here she goes" shouted the stud hand our Debbie The time, Well it was almost three in the morning Out slid the foal, The mare needing no supporting Down on the floor lay this bright chestnut foal Was it a colt or a filly? We'd all like to know Half an hour passed, The filly she tried To rise to her feet, But i guess she were tired A few more attempts the filly she stood Standing so tall, Proving she could She soon found her mum, and suckle she did well Donnie was so proud, It was obvious to tell She needed a name, So "Storm" 'twas to be This filly she was such a beauty to me I sat in the stable by her mothers' side Filled with such wonder, And Oh so much pride A little time passed, Storm ventured near As her head lowered to my hand, She showed no sign of fear Her muzzle so soft, Her breath on my face Right now I'd be nowhere else but this special place A sunny week later she was out in her field Jumping and galloping, Showing of her strong build As i stood at the fence, Just staring in awe The stunning filly was all mine, Would she come to my call Tucked up in her stable now, Home with her mum I just can't help being near her, But there's so much to be done I go in and stroke her, run my fingers through her mane She seems to realx and enjoy it, Her trust I'm beginning to gain All our time is spent together, Learning, Having fun Storm, She is amazing, My dream has only just begun Time goes so quickly, Storms growing so fast The bond is getting stronger, I hope it will always last Summer will soon be here, I start making lots of plans My filly is looking very smart, She certainly has many fans Storm is seven months old now, No longer needs her mum She has a stable of her own, But is looking rather glum I'm late home from work, It's another stormy night Storm is in the stable going crazy, Must have had a fright I go into see her, I try to calm her down She is having none of it, Throws me to the ground There's a major scuffle, Storm runs out I try to grab her, I miss, All I can do is shout Somehow managed to get a rope, Thrown it around her neck She drags me down the gangway, "Damn" I shout "Oh Heck" Her hind feet kicking, They're aiming for my face "Let go" screams my mum, As she drags me all over the place "No" I shout, But then I hit the ground Into the night Storm runs, I hear her gallop all around Panic grips me, But suddenly there's a crash Images run through my mind it's all over in a flash There's a deathly silence, As the air is filled with fear I walk into the darkness, "Storm" I call "Are you here?" Just then, The moon shone down, As the clowds they slowly drift apart Storm she is standing there, I feel a leap within my heart Although now i hear a gushing tap, It's getting rather louder But my Storm, Thank God, I'm happy that I've found her The moon shines on Storm, Her reflection in a puddle Is no puddle, Is her blood, "MUM VET" I scream, I grab Storm for a cuddle As i slip my arms around her neck, My hand it slowly dissapears I feel sick, Go hysterical, Am screaming and I don't really care who hears I run away, But Storm she follows "Go away" I scream, There's too much pain and sorrow I turn around, Storm, she looks me in the eye The sight I see, The feelings I feel, Words alone could never describe I walk on over and hold her close, This is it, My head spinning around We both fall hard, Her head on my knees, But there is just no more sound Just then, One more breath, A gargle, But no more Tears of despair, The pain in my heart, Storm she died here on the floor Well it has been eleven years now since that fateful day They say time is a healer, But the pain has never gone away Not a day goes by ever, Without a thought for Storm I can remember every detail, right from the day that she was born I can't even begin to put into words the heartache that I feel Most people just don't understand, The despair I suffer still All I know is a part of me too, Also died that night Maybe one day alll the pain will go away and make everything alright |
