My Dog Siboney ...Revised

Siboney, my inseparable companion, He was the joy of my life, I was a small child when I stumbled upon him, He followed me wherever I went, He was true company, Running jumping over the fields, It was great to have him in my life, My friend and I shared special moments, Secrets he kept to protect me, he was a loyal confidant, We fished and pretended to go hunting, He would always come over, This time he did not show up, A full day went by with no Siboney, I set out to find him, in the usual favorite place, It was by our favorite stream where we always went fishing, I looked every where for my special companion, My heart was heavy and my eyes were wet, To my sad surprise, I found my companion dead, Devastation is all that I felt, Immortalized in my heart, I will carry the memories of my dog Siboney for life These are true thoughts it happened to my father Rene. My father wrote the original poem and I added to it and revised it. It was Rene Torres who wrote most of it and inspired me. Oct/5/2008.

I know how it feels when a loved one, such as a cherished companion is taken away from you. I had a cat of only six years who died of leukemia. I feel for you with this write. Extending you my prayers and blessings. Peace always, John
