They came and took Ben away, <br />Just after the break of day. <br />The dog didn't understand <br />What had happened to his man. <br /> <br />On the front porch, he stay(ed) . <br />There was no reason for him to stray. <br />He awaited his master's call <br />Through the early days of fall. <br /> <br />Neither hunger, thirst nor bitter cold <br />Took him from this home of old. <br />Depleted; as days crept by <br />He watched the ever changing sky. <br /> <br />Finally Ben came; some folks say <br />And he and his dog went away.<br /><br />Sidi J.
