With their undeniable transport-function
Horses demand rigorous empowerment…
Hence in their vital rejuvenating station
They huddle for hearty replenishment.
What a sight to behold them in their haven
Feasting along grazing land’s abundance…
While displaying prowess tenaciously proven
Midst tourists enthralled by their elegance.
Sternly ushered to their distinct fortress
They soberly settle in their serene paradise…
Vanquishing pressures of sports-distress
In their stables ready for tomorrow’s surprise.
Horses* for battle, others for leisure
Commendable for their service-zest…
Giving to their Creator gracious pleasure
They deserve a salute with my gratitude’s best.
*Revelation 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

Mother, you’re a precious treasure
A gracious gift from God indeed
Your wondrous love, I can’t measure…
Mother, you’re a precious treasure
Along your memories’ pleasure
Of care attending to my need…
Mother, you’re a precious treasure
Commended for virtuous* deed!
*Proverbs 31:10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
