The Best Horses in Heaven, They Have No Tail

​

​

​

The best horses in Heaven
they have no tail.
This is a rule they all know
without fail.

For when a new horse arrives
with a short cut bob,
they all know that this horse
did a very good job.

​

His owner could not bear
to part with her friend
so she saved his tail,
wrapped in ribbons
and in braids,
to hold with his memory
in a very loving way.

​

To enter Heaven
without a tail
is an honor,
a message,
that without fail
announces to everyone,
far and wide
that this horse
was more than a wonderful ride.

​

But
this horse was loved and cherished by one
and when his time serving on this Earth was done
he left behind
a broken heart
and a soul
from which he never will part.
