There stood dear old Charlie, <br />And all of us we felt sorry <br />For soon he would be food for dogs <br />I never thought he would be eaten up like a hog. <br />There sadly sat Cassie <br />Right know far from being sassy <br />Eyes damp with tears <br />Hearts fool of fears <br />For Charlie was a horse <br />And was the best 'of cores'. <br />Years come and go as so we know <br />We to shall soon go <br />So weep no more <br />Some day ye go to the golden door <br />Were havens gate <br />Dear Charlie will whet <br />Were Cassie yes ye shall come <br />And crying will forever have begun.<br /><br />Layla Price<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ode-to-cassie/
