The Sheep and The Goat

I wrote this poem for a friend of mine.. he gave me the idea

On two simple farms,
miles and miles apart,
there was a sheep and a goat,
with the same dream in their hearts.

They dreamed of a love so different,
that it would be remembered for years,
talked about forever,
between everyone including their peers.

One day the goat got sold,
to a farm across the way,
there it met a beautiful sheep,
with fur as warm as the sun's rays.

One day he couldn't take it,
and decided to express how he felt,
to his amazement,
she said something that made his heart melt.

She told him she loved him too,
but she had always been to scared,
to come right out and tell him,
exactly just how much she cared.

This was the love they've dreamed of,
forever all their lives,
they didn't care what it looked like,
cause it felt right under the skies.

Their peers told them to get over it,
no way it could be real,
and if it is they're in trouble,
so hide how they really feel.

They just ignored their warning,
and talked under the moon,
they thought they would be together forever,
who knew forever would come so soon.

They were talking together in their pen,
the day the heat arrived,
the day the farmer took the sheep,
and said, "It's amazing your fur survived."

He carried her gently out of the pen,
and placed her in the back of the truck,
the goat started going crazy,
thats when the heartake struck.

They gave the sheep a shave,
the goat became withdrawn,
and when he finally saw the sheep,
his love for her was gone.

The sheep ran toward him,
he suppressed the urge to puke,
she saw the look of disgust in his eyes,
so strong it gave her a spook.

She wondered what had changed,
and walked away with a broken heart,
trying to put him behind her,
like she should have done from the start.

She thought about him for months,
always wishing he would come back,
but after time she got over him,
and moved on with the pack.

Her fur grew back the next summer,
and she had forgotten about the goat,
until the day he came back to her,
and complimented her on the coat.

He told her he would always love her,
and he had watched her from afar,
she looked him right in the eyes,
and said, "I know who you are."

The goat took a jump back,
is she telling a lie?
she said, "I am the sheep that you loved once,
the one who's love you denied."

The goat suddenly remembered,
and said it was just a joke,
that he really loved her,
but his mind was blurred with smoke.

She didn't let him finish,
she just turned and trotted away,
running back to her new friends,
on that warm summer day.
