     Yes,Susan, the collection keeps growing as we become inspired by Barbaro's will to survive. Others have inspired these words so they come together for TEAM BARBARO fighting with him 24/7! A new one was added by Debra L. tonight August 2, 2006.

  Barbaro
  
  On a late April night a champion was born
  A difficult birth he'd survive to see morn
  
  It is said they knew from the very start
  That Barbaro had courage and a tremendous heart
  
  It is said he was different from all the rest
  And that he'd race to become the very best
  
  Whimsy and smart they said of this young steed
  Soon showing the world his unequaled speed
  
  Victorious in the Derby and next the Crown?
  Cut short at the Preakness which brought him down
  
  Now America prays that he win his greatest race
  So this champion may once again feel the sun upon his face
  
  May God grant you a full life!
  
  With love,
  
  Pat

  Agree with you Pat -- 200 percent!!! Barbaro's survival from a difficult birth would help him become the genuine champion fighter he today! You've said what many people are thinking -- Barbaro you hang in there and win this fight. Team Barbaro won't let you quit! Hear that guys -- Whisper in Barbaro's ears:
  
  ~ DON'T YOU QUIT - by Anonymous ~
  
  When things go wrong as they sometimes will-
  When the road you're traveling seems all uphill...
  When funds are low and debts are high-
  When you want to smile but you have to cry.
  When cares are pressing you down a bit-
  Rest if you must, but DON'T YOU QUIT!
  Life is strange with it's twist and turns.
  As every one of us sometimes learns- many a person has given up...
  when he might have captured the victor's cup!!!
  And he learned too late when the night came down-
  how close he was to that golden crown!So when cares are pressing you down a bit-
  rest if you must, but DON'T YOU QUIT!!!
  
  Hey there Team Barbaro, we believe in you Too!

  Yes Wilms S. I was ecstatic to learn the latest update on Barbaro's right hind leg. And although I realize his condition remains guarded, he's a fighter who has the prayers of all to help him through this!

  *** OUR MESSAGE TO BARBARO ***
  by TLC (August 15, 2006)
  
  Every day we say a prayer
  for another comfortable night.
  For together we stand,
  this close knit group,
  united against Barbaro's plight.
  
  
  This beautiful being
  has brought us together,
  similiar in so many ways.
  For we all have the hope,
  the thoughts, and the wishes
  to see Barbaro through each of these days.
  
  
  Stay strong we all say,
  listen to your doctors.
  Show everyone how smart you are.
  An inspiration to so many,
  Barbaro, a bright shining star.
  
  
  So Bobby, (as he is known by many),
  keep your head high and eyes all a'gleam.
  For each of us knows,
  in our hearts of hearts,
