Miguel and His Donkey

Miguel had a donkey in the country of Spain 
Used it for transport instead of taking a train
This donkey was more than a working horse 
More like his best friend and buddy of course 

Miguel treated his donkey with love and care 
Went with his four legged friend everywhere 
Both were getting older with every passing day
Preparations for funerals were well under way 

Miguel knew that he would be making a final ride
On his donkey one last time as his family cried
The very next morning Miguel had died 
His donkey was lying next to him by his side 

Miguel and his donkey were two peas in a pod
Now both on the way to a journey with God
I'm sure that God will treat them very well 
The loving donkey and the caring Miguel
