Thankfulness
THE STALLION
Though, he was working at the livery,
he would always be a cowboy at heart.
He longed to once again own a horse of
his own.
And his mind was totally blown
the day a young man named Bart
brought two horses into the livery.
“I'll be in town for a month or so
and I'll make you a deal.
I'm a gambler by trade, and only need
one horse, but I won this steed
he's a fine horse, but I don't feel
he's right for my need, you know?”
“I'll trade him to you in exchange
for taking care of the mare
while I'm in town. Our friend
quickly agreed, but then
to wth his boss, trying to be fair
to pay the gamblers bill himself, did
arrange.
Thus, he did acquire a spirited horse
who turned out to be the fastest animal
in town.
Oh, how he prized that stallion.
He named the animal “Scallion.”
He was happy to have found
a way to buy his own horse.
That night, when he knelt to pray
he Thanked God for blessing him.
He knew that this deal could only
have come from God, you see.
He did not know of the upcoming need
young Jim
would have, or in meeting it, the part
the horse would play.
