My Guardian - For Dar

A strong, handsome spirit my guardian friend Always by my side and ready to defend Even if harm was not the intent You always made clear your were in my defense We traveled along at liberty Both smiling as you looked back at me So ever faithful, the last of my three Now bonded together in a lasting trinity As in a peaceful realm he now abides So to become my spirit guide Guarding me well as any angel does To my sweet wonderful Dar I’m sending all my love

Now I can better understand your comments with regards to my poem 'loneliness'! Losing a pet and a companion of many years leaves a sad and painful mark. Your heartfelt poem reflects this. [by the way...the word 'dar' in Maltese means 'home'; he must have been very much at home with you!] Regards // paul

That's interesting about his name in Maltese...it doesn't feel like home without him :(... Actually Dar was the name of Marc Singer's character in an 80's movie "The Beastmaster"...he could communicate with animals. have a great day Paul :) C.H.

Your special tribute brought tears to my eyes Chris. My daughter lost her Siberian Husky who was also 13 years old last year. It is so difficult to say good-bye. This is beautifully poignant! : )
