" Duke " Dec. 5th 1990 ------- Aug. 29th 1998
Dog
My Love came home today
My love came home today
but not in his usual way
He's not bounding through the door
jumping or running with glee
He's not making his honorary rounds around the yard
or peeing on his tree
He's not standing at the cupboard awaiting a treat
or begging for the keys
There are no victory rounds through the house
with the key as a trophy
and a bone for a prize
no little whimpers
or happy sighs
no light bark
or him jumping at my side
no light kisses
on my hand or cheek
no kind eyes
to look up at me
Yes my love came home today
but not in his usual way
Like a soldier comes home to his country after
a battle long fought but lost
My warrior comes home today
but not in his usual way..my love comes home today
to rest in peace...where he use to lay...
I love you always and forever..My Duke...
