He came without warning, once a stray

Into our lives, now forever changed.

He was always so loyal, gorgeous and true

Always so joyful to meet someone new.

We loved our walks, and our chases, and such

For someone so athletic? It was never enough.

Across Dedham and Boston and Milleniun he roamed

A silent black guardian, white fluff of foam.

Now he is gone, over the rainbow bridge

His memories and collar are all that exists.

A life of sixteen, so joyous and long

For someone once seen as so very "wrong."

But he was never wrong, constant as a stone

Waiting for every new week I got home.

He always heard my cries, never complained,

A ray of sunshine, even in the rain.

Goodbye, my pup. Go on up around the bend,

One day, dear brother...

I hope we meet again.
