Angels Among Us Equine Rescue and Sanctuary
A Memorial...
Lazarus - In Nov. 2001, he was left in a stall without food or water,
neglected by his human’s misfortunes.
He could only wonder what he ever did,
that would cause them to not love him anymore.
Found by a stranger, with no time or money,
to try to give “yet another horse” a chance,
he was taken on a one-way journey to an auction,
his fate left in the hands of strangers.
He was slowly led into the auction ring,
so thin, a skeleton disguised as a horse.
Even the canner buyers turned up their noses,
he was surely of no use to anyone.
But we were there to see this poor horse,
and we understood he had lived through hell.
We knew if we did not do something to help him,
he would go through hell again in his death.
So we paid just $25 and we took him to our sanctuary,
yet we believed he was too far gone to save.
But when he stepped from the trailer and lifted his head high,
we realized he had not given up and neither could we.
Lazarus quickly stole our hearts,
and he was gentle and loved the attention.
He knew he was now home, with people to love him
and he would never again be neglected.
On a spring day in 2005, Lazarus decided to take a short jaunt,
just down the lane to say hello to the mares.
He had never wandered away from home before,
but his legs suddenly had the strength to carry him there.
Then a few days later, on the 10th of June,
Lazarus lay down to sleep in his favorite spot.
His rescuer came home to find his body there,
but his spirit had crossed the Rainbow Bridge.
The rescuer remembered at that moment, that just that morning,
Lazarus had nickered at her when she came to feed him.
She thought it odd, because he never nickered “hello" before,
but now we know he was just saying good-bye.
Please adopt a horse that needs a home. There are rescue organizations in almost every state.
