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.
