A healing horse
Jingles

One arm supporting either side
Side by side she walks
Walks with feeling feet
Feet take the place of eyes
Eyes she cannot use to see
See her horse waiting
Waiting for blind Maria
Maria is smelling Jingles
Jingles has bells on his bridle
Bridle, she smells the leather
Leather and bells her way
Way of loving Jingles trustingly
Trustingly he lets her put her hand
Hand so tiny, she curls her fingers
Fingers inside his lower lip
Lip so large, fingers so tiny
Tiny fingers loving her friend
Friend who understands
Understands this blind child
Child loves her Jingles

Author Notes
True story about a disabled child who made contact with a horse. She couldn't speak, was blind and intellectually disabled but fully whole around Jingles.
