My Old Steed

What I would do with my drivers license!

Oh the wonders that I would embark

The adventures to behold!

The people I would meet

The spirits, inquisitive and insightful

Filling me with being delightful

I would ride my steel horse, until its legs are splinted

Its hooves are cracked

Its heart gives way

Me and that old horse will never go astray!

The horse will follow, its past owners trail

As, when the time comes, its home shall not fail

I will leave, its shell so empty

But its heart will never leave me entirely.

I will remember my old steed

For it gave me the speed I need

To help people was my goal

That horse paying for every toll

To blaze new trails and experience new tails

I see once again how that upholstery got so worn

How the leather saw better days

But that old steed never let me down, but today I lay her down

As a new beast has arrived, better in every way

But it is lacking something, far far away

The heart and soul, the drive, the life

To get me to hell and back, still in time for dinner

Its missing the smells, the sounds, the nay

Its missing love of my old steed, in every single way.
