One Mare
One mare decided to walk through the dense forest.
And it grazed upon lands and lands of grass.
It is quite interesting that one mare can make a difference.
That yet, humans are less than a mare.
One mare changed the world one by one.
It foaled a beautiful Paint Horse.
The mare nursed the foal;
It was a cloudy day;
And a human was in sight.
The mare was keen and bright.
You see, the human got caught in the storm.
The mare ran to it;
Offering to give the human a ride.
Meanwhile; the foal was alone.
But the mare was determined to save the human.
When the human's daughter didn't dare to save her mom.
When the mare returned;
Her foal was dead.
This was all done because one mare cared
More about the human than her daughter did.
The mare killed herself in shame.
