I found this one in Farm and Ranch Living...
thought I'd share...
By Jeril Mroton, Gans, OK
Lord, I know grown men don't cry. But Lord, when I pulled the
saddle off Ole Bill and saw that the girth had left a print deep
in his side, I had to fight hard to keep the tears from falling.
Then I knelt down to rub Bill's leg and found a mesquite
thorn deep in the muscle. There was a cactus thorn, too.
But Lord, I didn't feel Bill flinch, not once. He carried me
50 miles today, and took those yearlings back without
me giving him a single command.
But Lord, when I saw the hole in his leg and the dried blood
where a yacca plant had jabbed him, I couldn't hold
back the tears any longer.
Lord, I ask you to bless Bill and me, and take the pain
away from Bill's leg. But, Lord, if you have only one
blessing left for today, give it to Bill. He means more
to me than anything I own on this earth, and I love him.
Thanks, Lord. And Amen.
