Filly

All things bright and beautiful, 
all creatures great and small, 
All things wise and wonderful, 
the Lord God made them all. 
Cecil Frances Alexander

So small and fragile
The little girl munches hay,
But can't resist
Coming to the gate to be petted.
She leans toward our voices,
Listens for sounds she knows,
Sniffs our hands to see 
Whether we brought a treat, 
Watches our feet and
Shyly pretends 
Not to look at our faces.
