In memory of…
Tyson, 1995-2011
And now there is no gentle nudge with an intense “I love you gaze.”
Only hearts that are filled with many tears, remembering joy-filled days.
But an Angel did appear to me, and said ” please cry no more.”
God also loves our canine friends, He’s installed a doggy door.

Now thou art dead, no eye shall ever see,
For shape and service, SPANIELL like to thee.
This shall my love doe, give thy sad death one
Tear that deserves of me a million.
