Horses

Georgia here. Just for an FYI (in case some of you didn't know) I have an EXTREME passion for Horseback riding. Its a sort of Therapy for me. If ever I'm starting to have a rough time in life, I know that Its time for a horseback ride. Recently, it was about that time. Lucky for me Alan's Family Home Evening group decided to go visit one of their Church leader's home and ride horses. It was an opporitunity i couldn't pass. Sooooo Alan was fabulous and took some videos.
Haha...in the first one I probably don't look all that excited to be riding or like the CrAzY hyper person I normally am but when riding, I'm in another world. Just thought I'd share these:

Civil Defense Caves!

"Dancing on Water" or "Alan's Dance"

I stand on the shore lost in a world of my own.
You are softly falling with my mind's clouded rain.
The sand skims through my toes with each step
Like my thoughts drifting to how my furture is plain.

Gentle reflections of new reasons and past joys
as if smiling back at me on the taunting waves.
Memories change to musical notes in rythm with the ocean
Pulling me along, inviting to sway with music my heart craves.

Each melodious strain drawing my being
To walk above the lyrical liquid haze of chance.
Faith stiring my soul to soar beyond the unknown
Throught a place where a traquil symophony turns my life in dance.

New emotions spread wings of hope beside the whispering wind.
Gliding alone-not knowing which direction to take
Afraid and unsure, slipping in to the sea
Tears blend with the spray, blurring a shadow in the wake.

Floating far into the depth of dashed dreams
Grasping for the fading stanzas is all I can do.
Wishes blacken in the darkness as I am consumed.
Engulfed in the deep-hopes are few.

A touch of the hand holding onto spared dreams
a silhouette intertwines in that precious lyrical phrase.
Stretching toward the moonlit sky of safety
Closed in an embrace of gratitude and praise.

Eyes turned down, not knowing quite how to start
My heart beats in time as my hero tenderly raises our chins.
His eyes playful as the shimmering sea
He takes me in his arms and the music begins...

UTAH and new family...
