Prince and Sabres Poem
Sabre joined his dad today,
we are sad and miss him so.
His time on earth was over
we just had to let him go.
We held him and we hugged him
as he quickly slipped away,
to leave a useless shell behind him
while Sabre sped off to play.
Perhaps old Prince was lonely,
He always was the cunning one,
maybe he tricked an angel
into coming to fetch his son.
I know they are together now
though much sooner than was fair,
I'll remember them forever,
an irreplaceable, wonderful pair.
With luck they'll find a forest,
with a rive, lake and stream,
take the walks we once took together,
of which we can now only dream
I hope they are both happy
and though I am filled with despair,
I know that one day I'll be smiling
when I think of that wonderful pair.
One day they'll see us coming
and towards us they will race.
No pills, no wheels, no bandages
to slow their breakneck pace.
But now there's only the memories
of the good times we once knew
with our magnificent German Shepherd's.
I'm so glad we knew you two.
Prince 23/04/85 ~ 07/05/99
Sabre 09/04/87 ~ 11/06/99.
