Dawn of day no welcome meets, frantic tail no master greets. Eyes bright with welcome sure, honest heart and love so pure. Ever eager to give so much,for word of praise and gentle touch. For bowl of food and comfy bed, where once replete to lay your head. Such as these made life complete, contentment flopped beside my feet. You touched my heart,the best in me, dearest friend there could ever be. Through all my years, it is no lie, within me you will never die. Farewell Debs
