Eclectic Angel Thee
Maybe it was because he was the runt of the litter
Yet, his joy to your heart, I knew, that none could not compare
Friendly big frame, except when Mr. Bill would screams his name
Right by our bed he would sleep while we sang
Ice pellets tapping on the window pane
Eleven… What’s that? Outside to do your thang?
Next thing I know, is that you had fell sick
Date and time now with the vet, Steve called to come quick
Male Knight that I am, there before lickety split
Inside, something there hadn’t been right for many a night
Cloak the coat…should have protested with stronger clout
Killed him, I did….this look in her eyes, is what was said
Eternal you are my friend
Yet, I still ask forgiveness, for failing you
