Adoptable Mares & Foals - Equine Voices Rescue & Sanctuary™ @ Jumpin' Jack Ranch, Green Valley, Arizona

My journey is at an end
My eyes close in warmth and
comfort known only to those
that are loved and who love

My journey is at an end
I was born to a life that held
no future; not perfect to my
equine world; destined to bare
an anguish hidden

My journey is at an end
I carry a baby but no one cares
my confinement the gold which
pays huge profits but barely
pays for my keep

My journey is at an end
My child is gone and yet my
urine they still seek

My journey is at an end
My womb is no longer to seed
I'm sent to the feed lot which
foretells my fate

My journey is at an end
The journey of my sisters is on
going with no end in sight
my legacy is my story which
needs to be told and retold

My journey is at an end
There are voices that speak within
my soul of rescue and respite
The voices are of angels on earth
angels of mercy that create havens for
the abused and unwanted of our kind

My journey is at an end
The sun warms my being; the hands
that stroke my head are loving and sure
My passing is peaceful into the loving
hands of the Lord who creates all.

My journey is at an end.
