Notes About The Poem

BESS my portrait-tribute

 

BESS OUR COLLIE CROSS FRIEND

A pet no one would ever trade
Such loyalty of the lasting,loving kind
Her memory now in cross-stitch made
No replacement,were we to ever find
Still,now in our memory-bank entwined.

Congratulations on POTW. Your poem tells of a sweet memory. Getting another dog will give another dog a chance. I know. I am without a dog after many years.

They become more than just pets Brian, they become part of the family and leave a large void in your lives when they pass away. Congratulations to you on this week's POTW honour, happy new year. Tom
