BEHS 012 – Magic

He stood under the tree dozing in the warm summer afternoon. He dreamed of a time long ago when he was young and strong. When he ran like the wind and nothing could catch him. Where once he ran free without a care, now he hobbled along at a slow pace carefully gauging each step. His life had been filled with many hardships and they had finally taken their toll.She startled him from his sleep and for a brief moment he imagined he was young again. He held his head high, snorting, ready to flee from this intruder. Then he remembered why she was here and lowered his head for the halter. Caressing his face as she lovingly placed the halter over his ears, she whispered... "Its time, I have come to make your dreams come true."They walked side by side and as they reached his final resting place, he nuzzled her and said Thank you for everything.Run wild and pain free Magic Man, and tell Toby hi for me. I told you one day you would be together again.
