Emily was on your back

Me, by your side

Leading you down the steep slope

Praying you wouldn’t slide

Your quiet little gait

And your sweet little whinny

Forever etched in my mind

Your stubbornness is so adorable

And makes you even smarter

Although you make me angry

And enjoy bringing me pain

I’ll never forget what you taught me

That day in the stream

Fear is the brains most used emotion

But sometimes, diving right in will break away your fears

Respect and be respected

You have to earn it.
