JUNE 1942 Horses he loved and laughter, the sun and the open air/ The trust of all dumb living things he won, and never knew the luck too good to share./ His was the simple heart the open hand, and honest faults he never strove to hide./ Problems of life he could not understand, as a man would wish to die he died./ Now though he will not ride with us again, his merry spirit seems our comrade yet/ forbidding us to mourn, or yet forget./ Erected by his devoted brother 1949.
