PASSING OVER

What is that today, I hear in the wind?
The thunder of hooves, the end of a friend.
He was gentle and noble, and though he knew pain.
In the last of his days, he was treated humane.

His fear was met, with loving concern.
He had blankets to warm him, all the hugs he could yearn.
His eyes probed the depth of your very soul..
But the abuse he had suffered-started taking its toll.

His body grew weaker, but his eyes held the light,
That clearly said "Folks, I am willing to fight."
But the war being waged, was deep down inside.
Gradually took all his strength, until pain closed his eyes.

And now over the Bridge, the free one does run.
To join his herdmates, in the Land of the Son.
To graze in tall grasses, free as a bird.
Released from his pain- part of Heaven's Great Herd.
