The proud day in the meadow finally came
the day the small black colt was born
The white mare breeding new life did quite well
leaving the dark horse dazed and forlorn
He was black in color with a shinny glow
weak and wobbly in his thin long legs
He attempted to stand and walk around
but they appeared to be just pegs
Immediately he searched for his mothers milk
as she waited for him proudly close by
Ready to nourish the black colt on request
and make him shinny strong and spry
He appears to have a strong heart like his mom
gaining strength even though he is quite thin
Dark horse knows he'll be strong like his dad
with speed like a free spirit to the wind
The white mare and the dark horse
take turns nuzzling the colt everywhere
They want to assure him from the beginning
that both love him and they both do care
