***BARBARO's RECOVERY ROAD CONTINUES Part II*** by WM, CL, & Barbaro's Big Heart (Dedicated to Lost In The Fog)

Two hundred thousand plus travel page views-
as Tim Woolley Racing keeps spreading good news!
Barbaro's Recovery Road may be long-
with adoring fans keeping Barbaro strong.
Beyond the prayers must our pensmanship speak-
Help make our horse athletes safer every week!
Thousands can make all the difference today-
Sign the petiton while Barbaro munches top hay!
He thanks you with nods, bows, and a wink-
For making his day while all of you think!
What if I had to travel recovery's road too?
How would I make things better for you?
Remember Michael's Miracle as all of us pray-
Keep lighting those candles each night and day!
Whispering Barbaro to heal better than ever!
Reminding Team Barbaro 'Never Say Never.'
Listen, there's whispers 'Don't You Quit!'
Not on our watch while all of us sit!
Watch Miracles happen on Recovery's Road
Let Mike Rea's and Barbaro's stories be told!
Lightens our spirits, we breathe easier now-
while GOOD NEWS spreads like wildfire, WOW!
Raise up your voices and sing us a song-
as Barbaro's & Mike's Recovery Road is long!
Send your GOOD WISHES and special gifts today-
While Barbaro eats special Lael grass and hay!
More than prayer, we now must all think-
Save our horse racing athletes from the brink!
Of broken down horses, we will talk no more-
as it's time for "Bobby" to snooze and snore!
YOU CAN MAKE the greatest difference for him-
Sign that petition Online helps Barbaro win!
A new kind of race so pick up your pace-
Come in and visit and show us your face!
Stop "Oh No's" and "Uh Oh's" before they begin-
Barbaro's campaign travels where noone has been!
Small step for horses, one giant step for men-
Start today with a click of a key instead of when?
Change Recovery's Road name to Better Road soon-
Time is of essence as this day approaches noon!
Takes but a moment, a flashback in time-
Moments keep passing, hearing Barbaro's chime!
Go if you must, but remember these words-
Make Racing Tracks safer for thoroughbred herds!
Todays Hopes are Tomorrow's Can Dos-
Jockeys and Horses need to hear the good news!
America cares, how much will that be?
Putting words into action for citizens to see-
Campaign for Barbaro until we make a difference!
Recovery Road is our Better Road with reverence!

      Barbaro was taken by Gloria's poem to him and wishes it respond in kind with his deepest appreciation to all those praying for his recovery and will to win....

      THE WILL TO WIN by Gloria Nussbaum
      (as inspired by Barbaro)

      Regal, majestic, magnificent, strong,
      The one we awaited, with hope, for so long,
      You marched on the stage with a presence unmatched.
      And by flawless performance, we all grew attached.

      But more than performance...your own manner drew,
      Us into the "magic" that we see in few.
      That untangible something that shines from within,
      That connects with the longing we all have to "win."

      Focused, competitive, disciplined, brave,
      You showed us a way that we all could behave.
      Fluid, commanding, your bearing and strides,
      Your outward display hinted more was inside.

      And when things went wrong, and your course became rough,
      You moved on to teach us that yours was no bluff.
      In good times or bad, the fight is the same,
      With courage and strength you forge on with no blame.

      What have you shown by your will to survive?
      A spirit that yearns to stay on - and, to thrive!
      An open heart eager, whatever life holds,
      To trust that the future has promise untold.

      A passion for keeping on, reaching for more,
      With hope in what else may come, yet unexplored.
      We have watched with amazement the journey within,
      And have seen for ourselves the TRUE WILL to win.

      You've achieved beyond that of sheer Triple Crown lore,
      And to us you will always have that class and more.
      Because you have touched something so deep inside,
      That we all feel like we are along on your ride.

      To walk in the footprints of one special horse,
      May make little sense to some people of course,
      But by leaving your imprint--unspoiled and real,
      You've taught us all more about ways we can heal.

      Will we follow your model - to put forth our best?
      And discover the joys that we haven't as yet?
      The lessons you teach us are simple, yet deep.
      They whisper of truths we'll be honored to keep.

      For winning is not merely beating a foe,
      It's conquering hardship, and pain, and sorrows.
      It's patience, surmounting unknowns once again,
      It's rising above - and yes, not giving in.

      It matters not whether another competes,
      Comparisons, measures, are all incomplete.
      No one must lose so that you may win.
      A winner stands tall and lifts others with him.

      The ending is still be be written, through time,
      And "wins" may not look like what we have in mind.
      But of this we are sure, you will run your full race,
      And wire to wire, you'll finish with grace.

      We cherish the chance that we have to observe,
      Your ongoing victory, so well deserved.
      We've joined in the journey. Now may we begin. To grasp the true meaning of "the will to win."
