A star is seen through darkness - And not by light of day  Though it's not seen with human eyes - It has not gone away. - I did not come here just to die, - But live forever more, - The old me's lying in the ground - The new me-how I soar - When all is quiet, just listen - For you may hear me neigh - And know that I am prancing - Across the Milky Way - So be done with your grieving - Wipe all tears from you eye - Someday you'll see me gaiting - Across God's Big Blue Sky!

Rising Star was a wonderful stallion and he will always be greatly missed.
