T'WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMS
Author: Unknown

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the barn,
All the creatures were sleeping, all safe, snug and warm.
The feed pails were hung by the stall doors with care,
In the hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
The ponies were nestled all warm in their beds,
While visions of carrot cakes danced through their heads.
The Arabs, the Thoroughbreds and even the Apps,
The jumpers and hunters were all taking naps.
When out in the paddock there arose such a clatter,
I awoke in my stall to see what was the matter.
I moved to the window, quick as I should,
To see where the noise came from, if I could.
The sight I beheld as I gazed out that night,
Was a beautiful horse, all whiter than white.
He wore a red blanket, so nice to behold,
His hooves how they sparkled, all glittery-gold.
With swift certain motions to our barn he came,
And silvery moonlight danced from his mane.
More rapid than racers, his hoofbeats they came,
And he neighed and he snorted, and called us by name.
He was our Christmas, a ghost-horse of white,
Who has come to all horses since that one special night.
To remind us of horses who served man so well,
Especially those with whom a baby did dwell.
For those special horses who shared stable and stall,
To give comfort and warmth to the Saviour of us all.
Now thinking of them, he entered the door,
To distribute among us, his gifts and more.
Down the aisle he came, his hoofbeats so light,
And he stopped by each stall in our stable that night.
Gifts he did give to all in our barn,
More heart or more courage, or to be free from harm.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And he filled all the feed pails, then turned with a jerk.
On gold hooves so bright,
And giving a nod, he went into the night
And I heard him neigh as he went out of sight,
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD NI-I-I-I-GHT!

CHRISTMAS HORSE
Author: Unknown

It's the night before Christmas, we're out in the barn 
Blanketing horses to keep them all warm 
They're eating their dinners, tucked in cozy stalls 
Not aware that it's Christmas or any special day at all 
They can dream of spring pastures from their pine-scented beds 
No visions of sugarplums dance in their heads
But we people think of merry parties and such 
Maybe feeling a little sad at missing so much 
This season is special but the horses don't know 
We've got work to do before we can go 
We finish the chores and head on inside 
To get ready for dinner and our own yuletide 
It's nearly midnight, the carols are sung 
I remember a story told when I was so young 
>>>> How at midnight on Christmas Eve 
The creatures of the barnyard can speak with ease 
I am called to the barn, I wade through the snow 
I really can't explain, I know I must go 
I slide open the door, pause for a while
Then slowly walk down that dimly lit aisle A nicker from Amigo, a wink from Sandy
Sleepy old On Stage waking to see 
Camilla rustling her bedding, JR a snort soft and light 
Each horse gave a greeting as I walked through the night 
I thought about parties bright lit and warm 
The ones we don't go to 'cause we have the barn 
And vacations and holidays that we don't get
When we're working long hours for bills to be met
Walking all the way to the end of the aisle
I stop to stroke Emma, it brings me a smile 
She snuffles my face, hot breath on my skin 
It starts me to thinking about my horses, my kin 
I could be at parties with laughter and mirth
But where I am right now is the best place on Earth
Merry Christmas to All! And to All a Good Night!

A KISS TO BUILD A DREAM ON
Author: Unknown

Give me a kiss to build a dream on,
And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss.
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A kiss to build a dream on.
...oOo...
Give me a kiss before you leave me,
And my imagination will feed my hungry heart.
Leave me one thing before we part
A kiss to build a dream on.
...oOo...
When I'm alone with my fancies...I'll be with you
Weaving romances...making believe they're true.
...oOo...
Give me your lips for just a moment,
And my imagination will make that moment live.
Give me what you alone can give,
A kiss to build a dream on.

AS TIME GOES BY
Author: UnKnown

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is still just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.
+++|+++
And when two lovers woo,
They still say: "I love you."
On that you can rely.
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by.
+++|+++
Moonlight and love songs - never out of date
Hearts full of passion - jealousy and hate
Woman needs man - and man must have his mate
That no one can deny.
+++|+++
It's still the same old story,
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die.
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.
