Chiron, The Centaur Poem by Ima Ryma

Chiron, in Greek mythology,
A centaur, the most wise and just,
Man head and arms with horse body,
A teacher, students learned to trust.
Immortal from his divine birth,
He taught mortals his healing skill
From using herbs grown in the earth.
Much good knowledge he did instill.
His immortality, he gave
Up willingly to the gods' ire,
Mortal Prometheus to save
From death for stealing the gods' fire.

Half brother, Zeus, honored him by
Placing Centaurus in the sky.
