silentprayer

I think this prayer should be dedicated to all the PMU foals born .
Many of these foals never stand a chance of knowing a loving home.

"A SILENT PRAYER"

Please, world, treat her kindly,
She's naive and fresh and new;
I can't control her future,
that will rest with you.

Give her responsible owners
Who provide her daily needs,
And may she live with kindness,
Wherever her path may lead.

There will be many challenges
In each new situation,
And though she lacks the gift of speech,
May she learn communication.

She won't fret about tomorrow,
Nor be assessing yesterday;
Imagination will not tease her,
Her reality is today.

She will not measure time
By week or or by the or year,
Rather by trust and contentment,
Kindness and lack of fear.

Even now, curiosity calls her,
Her boundaries soon are tried,
But youthful courage fails her
And she returns to my side.

But I can't always be there,
To set her spirit free,
And so I pray to you, world,
Please keep her safe for me.

Many thanks to Connie Fenner for this poem
