Don't Cry For The Horses
Don't cry for the horses that life has set free;
A million white horses forever to be.
Don't cry for the horses now in God's hand,
As they dance and they prance in a heavenly band.
They were ours as a gift, but never to keep.
As they close their eyes forever to sleep,
Their spirits unbound. On silver wings they fly;
A million white horses against the blue sky.
Look up into heaven, you'll see them above -
The horses we lost, the horses we loved.
Manes and tails flowing, they gallop through time.
They were never yours - they were never mine.
Don't cry for the horses. They'll be back someday.
When our time is gone, they will show us the way.
Do you hear that soft nicker? Close to your ear?
Don't cry for the horses. Love the ones that are here.
Don't cry for the horses. Lift up your sad eyes
Can't you see them As they fly by?
A million white horses, Free from hunger and pain
Their spirits set free, Until we ride again

Another poem I love, that offers millions comfort is :
Do Not Stand By My Grave And Weep.
Do not stand by my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on the snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand by my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die….
