He was just a Shetland pony some might say,
But to the Dillards, especially, Gary. brightened many a day.
To the friends and neighbors he gav ? lne ride.
To the Utile ones, gentle, as If someone were by their side.
He jumped and ran, he worked and he played.
Then alas an accident, his leg was broke, oh what a sad day.
Days passed. They doctored and watched, how we all cared.
Yet It was not id be, his Ufe could not be spared
So we'U miss you, but there's one thing we know
If there's an animal Heaven Pooch, you surely will go.
