I Am a Horse

You can saddle me or bridle me

You can put a chain around my neck

You can laugh or dock my tail

But my spirit you'll never break.

I'm not a toy to be modeled for fashion

Nor a slave to your every whim

I am a horse, a creature of my own

Like you, I was made by Him.

I will not answer to your call

Yet I will be here until the end

I am not here to be your doll

I was made to be your friend.

I will not run away from you

Nor will I beg for reprieve

I was made to be your companion

So I never shall leave.

 You can treat me like a slave

And perhaps you'll never know

That inside, I am something more

Then the horse on which you go.

You can chain me or starve me

Drive a whip into my sides

But you'll never get inside me

Where the angel spirit resides.
