Fly
Fly, fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining
Fly, fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this.
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won't forget.
Fly, fly little wing ...
Song by Celine Dion
"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."
- Unknown
"Save a life. Always use a leash. Please."

Four Feet
I have done mostly what most men do
And pushed it out of my mind;
But I can't forget, if I wanted to,
Four feet trotting behind.
Day after day, the whole day through
Whenever my road inclined
Four feet said, I'm coming with you!
And trotted along behind
Now I must go by some other round
Which I shall never find
somewhere that does not carry the sound
Of four feet trotting behind.
Rudyard Kipling

Sonnet
by
Amethyst
Tread softly down the long, the velvet night,
your silver-slippered dreams will make no sound,
beyond celestial windows there abound
immense star gardens blooming still and bright.
Tread softly then the sightless corridor
for time, indeed, must wear a veiled face
but see the patterns--embroidery and lace,
and at the end, the light of morning's door.
And let your waking be not harsh with sun,
but put away the dark most tenderly,
and gentle as the rain to sea shall run
tread sure and unafraid to what will be,
and quietly into the morning go
soft as snowflakes drifting down to snow.
