Dog Heaven
I think 'dog heaven' must surely be a place where dogs can run;
No stake to tie or leash to walk - just a place to run.
They'll sleep upon a pillow-cloud by the light of a newborn star;
Food and drink and treats galore will greet them near and far.
Angel-dogs will sing to them; a canine choir sounds fun,
But, mostly I think dogs want their heaven to be a place to run.

The following poem was written by Joan for her faithful friend-Jenny |
|
When you were young you used to run and together we would play;
Now you're content upon your mat, to watch me through the day.
You used to hear a pin drop; when I whistled you always came;
Now you cannot hear a thing - not even when I call your name.
Your pretty ears have suffered pain but you very seldom complain;
We've walked together through sun and shadow and even through the rain.
Although you cannot hear me, you listen very well;
You know when I am talking to you - it's so easy to tell.
Your eyes, your tail, your smile, your kiss, you use to answer me;
If I searched the whole world over, no dearer friend there'd be.
You never seemed to mind that there were just we two;
I used to worry that I, alone, would not be enough for you.
Now, through time, we're a great old pair - we communicate just fine;
If you feel just a little happy - the blessings have really been mine.
For the joy and comfort you've given me, I thank you, little friend;
Our angel will always watch over us - right to the rainbow's end.

I had to say my last goodbye to my dear Jenny on December 8, 2003.
She was 15-1/2.
Perhaps, someday, I will be able to write another poem about her.
Right now - my heart is breaking.
Joan
