| A Tribute to my Dog Rommel No dry eyes could be found beside his grave that day,
We stood transfixed by grief where now his body lay;
And I so badly stricken by his endless sleep,
Stood silent as the sky rained down to help me weep. My thoughts then drifted over recent days gone by,
When walks were never taken and we both lacked strength to cry;
I recall now that though aching as his days began to ebb
He’d raise himself and wander, though in pain towards my bed. His sad eyes always hiding what he truly felt inside,
Looked mournful, yet so loving as he lay down by my side;
His paw in comfort resting as upon my lap he’d sag,
His face was pure contentment and his tail would start to wag. How can one part from friends so true? Who never ask but give,
When all their joy is measured by your presence while they live;
I know not how we leave them, but I know that till my end,
I shall miss you - dear sweet Rommel - for you were this man’s best friend. written 27th, May 2002  Rommel passed away over 13 years ago! It has taken me until now to find words suitable to remember him by. I hope they do him
justice. He was the most human of man's best friends. |
