Notes About The Poem

I am sorry to let you know that my darling Minstral passed away on the 19th I am heart broken  she meant so much to me

Minstral 2 Rip

Time passes so slowly and yet speeds by in a flash
Where on earth do the days of yester years go?

I look at my very old dog and know its near her end 
and my heart breaks knowing my life with her
is passing, she has never known another home
I helped her mum give birth to her and her siblings

She has been such a joy over the long years
and you could not ask for a better more loyal friend
she means the world to me and I grieve every day
for what is to come, the day she will leave this life.

I hope and pray that we will meet again in after life
and both be young once more
