The One That Keeps Me Strong At Night

The one who keeps me sound at night during the weary hours

The one who holds my deepest secrets and never betrays me

I’ve been lucky enough to find what holds me together when superglue isn’t strong enough

It’s you, an 1,800 pound animal that speaks no words to other humans but screams dreams to me

The four legged animal that has no fears or worries but is here for support

The only one I know I can trust when times get rough

You’ve taught me so much by saying so little

The one who keeps me sound at night

You bring me a high better than any drug

A connection stronger than any magnet

The one that keeps me sound at night

Just when I feel it’s all over you remind me to pick my head up

No you can’t roll over like Rover

But you can prance like a king and carry me as a queen

The one that keeps me sound at night is the most powerful of them all

A beautiful beast full of many great traits

That horse is no longer an animal to me but a person who keeps me strong

There is nothing in this life that I cannot conquer with you by my side

The one who keeps me sound at night

A uniquely voiced poem... It is clear, emotional, straightforward and captures the readers interest. I too, like horses so I can relate. You've worded this nicely.
