Horses

by Gypsie-Ami Offenbacher-Ferris Written for Carol W.

A mighty stead
a gentle mare
Each one deserves
our care

True and loyal
without fail
Your very best friend
if you treat them well

Different sizes
many breeds
Such beautiful colors
I must concede

Though the Shire
is of massive height
His stature proof
of his awesome might

A lovely worker
in the group
A shiny Quarter Horse
often takes the blue

The Paint is one
wearing many colors
Roaming the country
border to border

Blacks, browns,
whites and grays,
So many of them
take the crown

Yet the one for me
who stole my heart
Came from a line
setting them apart

A spirit wild
a spirit free
The Appaloosa
is the horse for me
