Powder River
He flows like a River......

 ACROSS THE WAY I SAW HIM
AT THE WALKING HORSE SALE THAT DAY
A YEARLING BLACK AND WHITE STALLION
AWAITING HIS CHANCE TO PARADE.

HE LOOKED LIKE A DEER IN HIS MOVEMENTS
HE EBBED AND HE FLOWED WHEN HE WALKED
 COULD I BE THE ONE SO LUCKY
AS TO HAVE THE LAST BID AS THEY HAWKED?

 AND YES, IT IS TRUE THAT THEY POINTED
AND SAID SOLD TO THE LADY RIGHT THERE
AND I COULDN’T BELIEVE MY GOOD FORTUNE
TO BE THE NEW OWNER OF A STALLION SO RARE.

SO AWAY WE WENT TO THE TRAINER
TO LEARN TO WALK LIKE A CHAMP
HE LEARNED SO QUICKLY AND EASILY
THAT SOON HE WAS IN A NEW CAMP.

WITH EACH TRAINER THAT TRIED HIS HAND
HE IMPROVED WITH GRACE AND STRIDE
AND SOON PEOPLE STARTED TO TAKE NOTICE
OF THE BLACK AND WHITE STALLION HE’D RIDE.

AND SHOW AFTER SHOW HE WOULD WIN
HE FLOWED LIKE A MIGHTY RIVER
THIS GORGEOUS WALKING HORSE STALLION
THE WORLD CAME TO KNOW AS POWDER RIVER
                      - - Mary Ellen Areaux
