Bobby’s Guardian Angel

By

Melissa Harden



She was there, unnoticed, that wonderful night,

When Bobby was born what a memorable sight.



Unseen by all, she watched him grow as a foal,

All the while knowing that he would reach his goal.



That day at the Derby, she shouted with joy,

Telling all those around her, “That Is my Boy!”



Then, at the Preakness, she was there at the gate,

While helplessly knowing she could not change fate.



Ever since that bad day, she has been at his side,

Trying her very best, his healing to guide.



If her tears held weight during his long ordeal,

He’d be back on the racetrack completely healed.



But she knows that his life will mean so much more,

Than all he’d gain at the track with it’s honor.



She hopes that your efforts in his cause will prevail,

Else all of he’s been through will be to no avail.



Please do help his angel because her cause true,

She knows who you are and is counting on you.

      Dear Melissa,

      Thank you for writing about Bobby's guardian angel. Though we cannot see them, we know angels must surely be watching over Bobby. She's not alone for there are a whole host of them be it human or horse. I am certain there are both looking out for him.

      With many long miles to go on his recovery road we are ever so thankful he is slowly but definitely coming along. IT was SO GOOD to finally hear Dr. Richardson say that Bobby has found a way through the woods better than before.

      In a way, as Bobby's spirit soars and shines it certainly rubs off on Dr. Dean and everyone who sees him...He is looking better and getting friskier each day. Think the visits with Michael Matz clearly help too.

      May his angel and presence motivate us all to better protect other great champions like Barbaro! (Bobby)!! Thank you for writing such beautiful poetry... maybe you could put some of your words on video -- you are so good at the video part!!! WM & CL

      Barbaro.....my eternal flame.....
      The very first time I set eyes
      on Barbaro, was on a television newscast, after he won the Kentucky Derby,.... it was at that very moment, a flame was lit, in the centre of my soul... a flame, which grew warmer and
      brighter with each passing moment.....
      The catastrophic events, which followed, in weeks to come, caused me much saddness and pain, but the flame within my soul, grew warmer and brighter and the Love grew stronger, with each passing day..... since Barbaro has moved into another space, his spirit continues to grow to immeasurable proportions..... Barbaro's
      presence and his aura, have permeated so many souls and awakened so much awareness, love and compassion..... is this not something we all must learn from? Rest in Peace, Sweet Prince !
      ..... until we meet again, I send my Love to you, by carrying on, as your ambassador .............
