Unbridled Youth

Pleased as punch
This mother quite proud
Flips up her tail
Neighing out loud

Her gait so lively
Her head held high
This bright young fella
Once a gleam in her eye

Unbridled spirit
Feeling so grand
The spitting image
Of his dear old man

Romping through fields
Free of reins
Thundering hoofs
Flying mane

A frisky young colt
Like dad in his day
Who was quite a stud
They were heard to say 

Then back to the barn
When day is done
This spirited young colt
Was born to run

Resting for a while
Batteries recharged
Chomping at the bit
A spirit so large

Such unbridled youth
Exuberance defined
This pesky young colt
It's his moment to shine
