The Friend

He is of a fiery nature, 

He shatters the earth with his feet,

The sounds of thunder with every beat.

The winds of heaven blow through his mane,

The wildness coursing through his veins.

He can take you on a wild ride,

So hold on tight and smile with pride.

Nothing else in this world

Can make you feel what he makes you feel.

For his kind eye can calm 

And his gentle nuzzle can heal,

Any and every wound that you have like a balm.

God created a wonderful friend,

When he thought of this wonderful creature,

One who has been there from beginning to end.
