Black is her color brave and valor mixed breed that she is my constant companion loyal walking partner White spot on her breast mark of a beast wild as her dad gentle as her mom the beauty that she is Strangers she hates the taste of dates makes her fury beyond control the blood line in her Born warrior dog but sleeps like a log wakes up in the morning fresh as a morning glory smiles under bright sunrise Growls as a lion plays with dandelion run about chasing cat rat tails ‘til her weight gives in bright pink tongue hangs restlessly One inky evening when I was dining Cookie limped and tardy those black irises looks sad as if to say goodbye Comes the unforgettable dawn Mixed emotions can’t be drawn every heart breaks in two that day she lay motionless its breath deepening panting ‘til end Cookie forever gone nothing can be done no death wishes for it was so quick great guardian she was her memories will remained in my heart I know not where she is now Fluke makes a vow for she was as great as her side by side they lay others before them barks no more. To all dogs I loved before I salute you! |
