Still Standing

She’s standing still,
Against her will,
Although she’d rather
Run for thrill.

Our mare of gold
Is growing old,
And yet her story
Must be told.

Her motor stirs;
No need for spurs,
She longs to run
As she prefers.

And yet, she slows
Before my “Whoa’s.”
Her energy now
Ebbs and flows.

I pray she’ll stay
Many a day
For I delight
To hear her “Neigh.”
