Hoezo naar dat ik hier moet kijken en dan zou mijn paard waarschijnlijk ook nog dood zijn.

Er zijn wel meer 'goede doelen' die geld verdienen. Persoonlijk vind ik het nog steeds erger dat er kinderen sterven aan nu nog ongeneeslijke ziektes, dan dat er voor een paard op een gegeven moment een einde komt aan hoever je doktert.

The Grandest Foal
Gebaseerd op "A child of mine" van Edgar Guest

I'll lend you for a little while,
my grandest foal, God said.
For you to love while he's alive,
and mourn for when he's dead.

It may be one or twenty years,
or days or months, you see.
But will you, til I take him back,
Take care of him for me?

He'll bring his charms to gladden you
and should his stay be brief,
you'll have those treasured memories,
as solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay,
since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught on earth
I want this foal to learn.

I've looked the wide world over
in my search for teachers true.
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
with trust, I have selected you.

Now will you give him all your love?
Nor think the labor vain.
Nor hate me when I come
to take him back again?

I know you'll give him tenderness
and love will bloom each day.
And for the happiness you've known,
you will forever-grateful stay.

But should I come and call for him
much sooner than you'd planned,
you'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
and maybe understand
