   THE HORSE TO ME
   BY: FRANK MOGLIA

   The horse stood for more then just transportation
   The horse helped mankind settle this nation
   They plowed our fields
   And carried our mail
   All for some hay
   And a few oats in a pail
   They carried our heros in battles and wars
   Never uttering a sound or asking for more
   They pulled the coaches
   And many a wagon
   Through rain and snow
   Or heat at them naggin
   They helped man migrate from the East to West
   Through mountains and prairie with so little rest
   And when they arrived they dug right in
   Working the ranches and farms located within
   But with time came inventions that retired the horse
   And soon man forgot and with little remorse
   The thundering hoofs of yesterdays trails
   The saddles the wagons and the hay by the bales
   This equine hero who lives on with pride
   Has taken these changes all in their stride
   Their role may have changed as roles sometime can
   But this noble beast is still serving man
   So while riding these old trails now covered with tar
   In your pick up your semi your cycle or car
   And you pass a green pasture, corral or a glen
   And you see lots of horses running or grazing within
   Just stop for a second and praise them of course
   Because we would have nothing if it weren’t for the horse
