Riding Wistful Horses
by Alastair Adamson
Sitting here and thinking howMy life much richer is now

For all the ones I've chanced upon

And the tapestry that was spun

There was a time when no one came

No friends to play in childhood game

No one to shelter from the rain

Nor the adolescent pain

Yet in my inner heart I knew

Secrets rare and secrets true

Were wishes horses, all would ride

Other dreamers by my side

Then one day I dropped my guard

I never did something so hard

In my heart I let others in

And found I had a friend

By one's and two's they gathered near

Soothing all my darkest fears

A tapestry we began to weave

And I once more believe

For youth need never fade away

As long as I can dream and play

On wistful horses I will ride

With other dreamers at my side
