Belle Belle

Eager to please, selfless, and true
Brought a smile when all seemed blue.
Couldn't love enough when someone was near
Especially when scratched right under the ear.
'Survival of the fittest", a true earned right, 
From litters of pups' to Rattlesnake bite.

This life's only certainty: the faceless robed thief,
Took meaning from matter, like a sword from a sheath.
What remains, is too powerful to be taken,
A feeling misplaced, but never forsaken.
Even on this day of passing, through grievous shed of tear,
We still beg for laughter, and one more scratch under the ear.
