Star

Star was a Cali
Dusty and long haired
Mature when we met
You could say that she’d ‘been there’

This was her third home
Each one a full lifetime
Why any would give her up
Is crazy in my mind

She was stubborn, haughty
And chock full of ‘tude
But oh so lovable
When in the right mood

The old lady’s now gone
There were no sad tears
She brightened our world
For 28 years

G'day Paul … Always sad and the heart is empty after losing a companion, and 28 years is a long time, although plenty of memories will be with you - thanks Paul - Lindsay
