Marston Stud retweetledi
Easy, now… lie still, my friend,
The noise is gone, the fight will end.
I’ve got you here, just close your eyes,
No more shots, no more cries.
You gave me all — your strength, your speed,
You asked for nothing, met each need.
I wish I could have spared you pain,
To ride you through the fields again.
Your breath is short, your body torn,
But you — you kept me safe through storm.
And now I stay, I will not leave,
We’ll share this silence while we grieve.
So rest, old boy… your duty’s done.
You fought like ten, you ran like one.
And when they ask who saved me true,
I’ll say it plain — it was you.
In memory of all the men, women and horses lost in war on VE day.
