The Pony of Painted Dreams

A Ballad of Childhood

By mahmoud elsaadPublished 3 months ago 1 min read

With a coat dappled brown, like a patchwork quilt,

The pony stands waiting, with a spirit so built

For adventures untold, in a child's playful mind,

A world of pretend, where worries unwind.

His mane, a soft cloud, hangs tangled and free,

Awaiting a braid, a crown for a spree.

His eyes, gentle pools, hold a trusting gleam,

A friend and a partner, in every childhood dream.

He trots with a rhythm, a gentle, soft pace,

Carrying laughter and joy, on his whimsical space.

Across meadows of green, or through gardens so grand,

The pony of painted dreams, a magical hand.

He kneels with a sigh, a furry, warm friend,

Awaiting a hug, till journeys end.

No battles or burdens, just a whimsical quest,

The pony of painted dreams, a haven of rest.

So sing of the pony, a friend ever true,

A spark in their eyes, a magical hue.

May his gentle spirit, forever remain,

The pony of painted dreams, a childhood refrain.
