My canine companion
along side me in tranquility
dreams
My canine companion
from the beginning has unceasingly
been devoted
My canine companion
senses the pain in my heart
My canine companion
perceives the sorrow in my
soul
My canine companion
entrusts me with her life
My canine companion
is ever more present throughout
this strife.
My canine companion...Callie
you must know
Will always exhibit unconditional
love.
I treasure my friend when
all is lost
A companion as she is superior
to most.
No complaining, whimpering,
sighing I hear
If these sounds are caught
it will ring through her ear.
The loyalty outweighs most
humans I fear
As she comprehends from the
pains of a tear.
So accepting it is sad to
see her living on dreams
Just like her mistress,...hopeless
it seems.
Joy only embarks while watching
her play
As this gal once lived...
that life now stays at bay.
My shepherd Callie will ceaselessly
remain...
the best companion God everlastingly
has created.
