What if an old horse stood at the pulpit? <br />Oh, I can see him standing there <br />His warm eyes are filled with wisdom <br />And we know he really cares <br /> <br />He wants to tell us many things <br />With his heart so full of love <br />He tells it like it is <br />Just like a message from above <br /> <br />For his age is instrumental <br />In teaching love and grace <br />Yes, he lived a life so different <br />In his honest, open space <br /> <br />He became just like his barn <br />In that he’s passed the test of time <br />He’s like a weary old warrior <br />No better messenger could you find <br /> <br />What if an old horse was at the pulpit? <br />What would he say to you and me? <br />I’ll bet when he was finished <br />We would experience tranquility!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-horse-stood-at-the-pulpit/
