TAZ, MY FAITHFUL FRIEND

WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE
HOW WONDERFUL YOU WERE
MY LOYAL PROTECTOR,
EVERY QUIET AND WATCHFUL.
QUICK TO RESPOND ONE CALL
OF YOUR NAME WAS
ALL YOU NEEDED, AND
RIGHT BY MY SIDE YOU WOULD BE.

YOU WERE SO POWERFUL,
YOUR MUSCLES SO DEFINED,
YET TO KNOW YOU,
YOU WERE SO VERY KIND.
THE BENEFIT OF YOUR KISSES
I NEVER DID RECEIVE,
BUT NEVER, DID I FAIL TO
KNOW THE LOVE YOU HAD FOR ME.
THE GENTLE LOVING BROWN EYES,
THAT LOOKED TO ME WITH SUCH TRUST,
I KNEW THE BOND
WE SHARED COULDN’T BE DEFINED
WITH JUST A KISS.

YOUR BIG PAW, BEING RAISED FOR ATTENTION,
ALWAYS QUIET AND UNASSUMING.
NEVER DOUBTING YOUR NEED FOR HUMAN CONTACT.
THE BIG SIGH OF RELIEF YOU GAVE,
WHEN YOU GOT YOUR HUGS,
YOU WOULD HAVE STAYED STANDING
ON YOUR HIND LEGS FOR ATTENTION.

YOU FOUGHT SUCH A LONG HARD BATTLE,
NEVER GIVING UP.
YOU WAITED FOR ME
TO BE COMFORTABLE AND
KNOW THE TIME WAS RIGHT.
THE FIGHT WAS OVER,
TIME FOR YOU TO REST.

IT’S TIME FOR YOU
TO BE HAPPY AND HEALTHY AGAIN.
RUNNING WITH HARLEY AND CHANCIE-BOY.
WAIT ON THE BRIDGE WITH THE BOYS,
FOR I WILL SOMEDAY SEE YOU ALL AGAIN.

 

FOREVER MY BOY,
