Collecting elephants is my thing. Ed had a horse collection.
i started Ed's horse collection. i dont know where they - the horses - are now
but the collection started with my first birthday gift to him at Systems Technology Institute (STI)
i couldnt think of a unique birthday present so i cogitated .... and thought... and pondered
He was born in the Year of the Horse
So i figured, i should give a horse and i did, and that first gift was really just a figure of a horse
but it came with an original short free verse
in essence the verse said that he was THE herd stallion
briefly it described what a herd stallion is -
it defends and protects
and you know, it also tickled his fancy ....
here's a link if you want to read about herd stallions
my last horse gift was an ancient horse drawn carriage, the cinderella type
like the first gift, this too came with an original verse
this time, about horses ... and dreams come true
