End of My Lead!

The one thing that I always will need

Is my faithful and trustworthy steed

By day she does graze

Till the eve's purple haze

She's my friend at the end of my lead

In the morn' she will greet with a nudge

Sharing grain with a bit of a grudge

She knows me through and through

The next move I will do

She's my friend at the end of my lead

Press my face oh so close to her mane

The aroma sooths all of my pain

In the reins feel the "pull"

Rush of lope, soul is full

On my friend at the end of my lead

No matter what life will produce

Problems melt watching her running loose

She can make all wrongs right

Standing guard through the night

She's my friend at the end of my lead

And I thank God for every day

Giving time for both work and for play

When my jobs are all done,

I know I can have fun

With my friend at the end of my lead

And someday when we pass through the veil

As for grain in a beat-up old pail

She'll come running to meet

On new tireless feet

My young friend at the end of my lead
