For those that have given up, I am hope.
For those that are in peril, I am sanctuary.
For those that are hungry, I am food.
For those that grow weary, I am a warm straw bed.
For those in pain, I am medicine.
For those that are lost, I am shepherd.
For those that have no words, I am justice.
For those that live in fear, I am a warm hand and calming word.
For those that are alone, I am friend.
For those that seek guidance, I am leader.
For those that seek knowledge, I am teacher.
While for those that wish to share, I am student.
For those who's teetering legs carry them to their first sunrise, I am all these things.
And for those who have reached the end,
I am the hooded angel of death.
But above all these things, I am love.
To man, I am but a man of straw…
To horse, I'm worth my weight in gold.
For I am horseman, nothing less, nor nothing more…
