Dog's Heaven
How sad for a Man's Best Friend.....
To have wandered all over in vain...
Lonely and lost in its abandonment..
Death exacts its toll, time finally to enter Dog's Heaven....
Poor doggy, listlessly wasting away each day....
Sniffing away air travellers coming her way....
Hoping to chance upon her master there at the airport...
Bewildered why her master was nowhere to be found...
Lost her appetite, worn out by its patience and its fading hunger..
Poor doggy, her heart yearned only for her master.....
When came the rescuers, they pitied and felt her misery...
They tried their best but cannot mend the broken heart in this doggy....
Now, all that remains, a requeim to remember this sad doggy....
Lost in abandonment, she had pined and suffered in lonely misery...
One solitary abandoned doggy, looking all over for its owner..
Lonely, hungry, miserable and abandoned, broken hearted in its silence....
What a sad ending, but a new beginning somewhere in Dog's Heavens.....
A new angel of a doggy, called back to duty in Dog's Heavens...
Brings to my mind, the melancholic tunes of the song Jealous of Angels....
There can be no other conclusion, this doggy has to be the latest angel....
Finally recalled back to join the others at the round table of canine angels..
But sadly here on earth, none mourn the ascent of this latest angel to Dog's Heavens....
