The Red Roan



She suffers no more

The red roan of rust.

With her gentle spirit,

Even in death

She followed my lead.




I have visions of her now

Running free,

In wheat fields and tall grass

Up on hind legs

Waving gracefully at the sky.



No saddle or bit

To bind her,

No bars of steel to

Hold her back.



She is free

She is free

She is free

    A little bay horse

    Was led up on the stand

    He waited for the bids

    Shying from the auctioneer's hand.
