CHRYSALIS ON HORSEBACK
(For Kim Meeder and
Crystal Peaks Ranch)

Hard work, harnessing wisdom;
rising hope, finding its way,
heart and eye being intense;
these propel them every day.

Cleaving wind and rain
formerly damaged horse
bearing hopeful child
yield to this campaign:

discovering their Creator.

Triumph shown in joyful faces
eagerly plunging into view
reveal their newly freshened hearts;
“sad” and “joyful” changing places.

…to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair (Isaiah 61:3, NIV)
