Beautiful brown mixed with black and white <br />Eyes that sparkled with the call of going out into nature <br />Faithful and loyal, true friendship <br /> <br />A darken morning you went out the door <br />Passed your boundaries not a sound was heard <br />Helpless and injured <br /> <br />A single insensitive human act <br />Left me crying and you fighting for your life <br />How could they just drive away, leave you there? <br /> <br />You tried to fight but time had taken its toll <br />Younger days had graced your eyes <br />And the canine pup had seen eleven years pass <br /> <br />I held you in my arms as he said there’s no hope <br />As your final breath was drawn <br />We said goodbye and my heart will never be the same <br /> <br />We moved to the country for room to run <br />Now you run heaven’s golden streets <br />I lost my best friend from one act from an insensitive human <br /> <br />I took you home to your final resting place <br /> Beside your favorite spot, the big red barn <br />Near the garden where we played <br /> <br />I wonder this house empty and void <br />A piece of me lays out back near the big red barn <br />And your picture remains on the fireplace <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />In memory of Sir Curley who died April 18,2007 <br />My friend and companion for eleven years <br />The most loyal German Shepherd a woman could have<br /><br />Patricia Gale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-memory-of-sir-curley/
