The Flight of My Falcon

The Flight of my Falcon was long and true
Through his Strength and his Love and his Mischief too
Over obstacle fence and tree he flew
I never knew what to expect... it was always something new
Born an unpredictable mutt... I never knew what he would do
Stubborn and Tenacious, made of pure Brute Srength
One of earth's Mighty Characters I think
His proud Handsome Face and Powerful Frame
Would carry him into my Canine Halls of Fame
Everywhere we went, wherever we'd go
That Face captured attention like some kind of Van Gogh
Loyal and Protective right through to the end
Always in my heart my old Awesome Friend
Though time ticked away and stole his youth
Deep down inside... I feel the truth
That now he is not here next to me
Because the Flight of my Falcon
Has finally set him Free

- for Falcon our "Warrior Dog"
