Monaco steps forward, a grim importance written on his face.
"I'm glad you all could be here... FE, Miraz, DM, AF, and you others. I'm glad you came, because this is a matter of sincerity. Our dear friend, father, and brother has been taken by the dark side, but he will, of course, live on in our hearts. DM, would you do the honors?"
The young stallion, Destiny's Mystery, who's been quietly standing in the shadows until now, steps up.
"This is the dedicational poem that I made up for Dad. And Mom too, sorta. I miss them both..." the young horse clears his throat and begins to read.
When spring turns into summer
And summer fades to fall,
You'll always know the tender voice
Who leads the young and small.
The voice just whispers softly now,
But still you can remember
When once it sang of bluebirds,
And August and November.
Now the voice is ringing out
With angelic tones of love,
And all the heavens open up
To bring the voice above.
The choir of angels sings so sweet,
The harps play evenly,
And all are welcomed with a song
That's gently heavenly.
But down on earth, a different song
Is what they have to sing;
Of sorrowed hearts and hoping loves
Who can't see heavenly ring.
The missing voice is what they know
Has gone so far away,
And cannot be returned to them
For many more a day.
But now the loving Voice looks down,
And wipes away their tears,
While again the heavenly choirs sing
Of love beyond the years.
Now the love has been passed on,
From a father to a son,
And the Voice can rest so easily,
For now his work is done."
Destiny's Mystery backs away, behind Monaco, not wanting the shame of tears to be known to his friends and family. He sniffs self-conciously and looks away from them, hiding his face. Monaco again steps forward.
"DM... I didn't know you felt that way..."
Destiny's Mystery steps back into the shadows, embarassed.
"Ahem... Alright, if anyone would like to say a few words?" Monaco sighs, breaking the silence that had settled.
