Blackie

And blackie was her precious name 
She was a shade of black and gray 
She was gentle and smart and tame 
Her silly antics made my day 

But one day when the time's not right 
I found her laying stead and still 
The lovely goat that once was bright 
Made its way to the highest hill 

*For my goat that just died*
