Poem
We got him just a few weeks old With energy to burn But he was very brave and bold For lessons he would learn Named him Louie from the start And every day was new He ran and each day played his part His love was deep and true. We played and learned to chase the birds As much as he would try He never understood my words That dogs can never fly He was quick and he was smart He understood commands He had such a loving heart Your love he would demand Then one day out of the blue Louie was not well He was tired and troubled too Anyone could tell With my partner Louie went Two hundred miles away And I was checking, text were sent On Louie every day. I had to practice with the band So early I had been I sat there on the bench at hand And wondered about him And as I sat I saw a streak A feather in the air It flew and seemed to hunt and seek Searching for me there It swirled around and down the wall The corner it did turn And then like it had heard my call It echoed my concern The wisp was Louie I was sure Sent to give me hope It was a message to endure Helping me to cope It came at me so hard and fast And flew beneath my seat I hoped that it would stay at last And make my day complete The feather now I could not see I smiled so deep inside Louie had come back to me Bliss I could not hide But as I felt some comfort there I saw the feather leave It waved goodbye without a care And I began to grieve The next day when I got the call The sun breaking the dawn I knew before the words could fall That Louie now was gone And now I know the wisp to be The feather that would fly Was Louie coming back to me To say his last goodbye A foolish poem I guess you think It’s silly til the end If so you’ve not felt your heart sink On losing man’s best friend (Louie - RIP November 9, 2021)
