Triumph from Tradgedy

It is said that Barbaro is one of a kind
There's just no question in anyone's mind

He's fast and feisty, powerful and strong
Inspiring many who compose this hero's song

A song that sings of courage and grace
And spirit of innocence and beauty of face

Songs that tell of that fateful day
After breaking out early on the 20th of May

Tears flowing and cries, "Spare this champion's life!"
Cries heard by Matz, Prado, Jacksons- husband and wife

Rushed to New Bolton to Dr. Dean's healing hands
Whispered prayers heard across all near and distant lands

"God stand by Dean 's side while performing his skills!"
Assisted by plates and screws bolts and, yes, pills

Heal a champion whom a nation loves so much
God, please deliver Barbaro your healing touch

Praise! Dean reports, "He's doing all things a horse can do."
We now must wait. Recovery is up to Barbaro too

Now walking and grazing at our Dr. Dean's side
And nipping at reporters when apples denied!

May one day Barbaro gallop down recovery's road
As our songs for Barbaro continue to be told!

God please heal our adoptive son.

With much love.
