I let loose the halters as we clear the gate
they take off as if they are already very late
kicking up their heels they jump and run
tearing through the pasture having fun.
They rip and tear around the whole fence
and then they slow so it can commence
They drop their heads and sniff the ground
then for a little bit they just spin around
See their weakening in their strong knees
and then they lower themselves with ease
they lay down and rock for a bit to and fro
all of the sudden a big rock, over they go
They roll to one side and then back again
even when it starts to becomes a strain
when they tire it's back up to their feet
then they finds soft sweet grass to eat
It is always such a happy treat to see
at least I must admit that it is for me
I hope that someday you will see it too
and that it will be a great thrill for you.
