The best horses in Heaven, they have no tail.

This is a rule they all know without fail.

For when a new horse arrives with a short cut bob,

they all know that this horse did a very good job.

 

Their owner could not bear to part with her friend, so she saved his tail,

wrapped in ribbons and in braids,

to hold with his memory in a very loving way.

 

To enter Heaven without a tail is an honor, a message, that without fail

announces to everyone far and wide that this horse

was more than a wonderful ride.

 

But this horse was loved and cherished by one

and when his time serving on this Earth was done he left behind a broken heart and a soul from which he never will part.
