Tribute To Max

When you came into this world I was there to pick you up.
To get you started on your long but short life.
We grew together to become friends ,pals, companions.
You where there for me when times were tough.
There for the sad times, the happy times, sorrow and joyful times.
We traveled the country seeing new things, places and people.
We knew what each other wanted by the actions and looks we gave.
Coming home was an adventure, meeting you knowing what was instore
the affection you gave. 
Then the times of horseplay,and of the love you gave to make me feel wanted.
To protect your little Diva like no one else could. To let her do what she
 wanted never to hurt her.
To watch you go was a dreadful, hurtful thing, a sorrow that I will not
soon forget. but to be there as you go to heaven.
To hold you as you took your last breath, lying there as asleep to never again  
awake.
May God protect you til I see you again. To call your name then you run to me 
knowing we will be together forever and more.
I greatly miss you MAX. 
On this day of my birth Dec. 6th you are with the Lord in heaven.
A tribute to my dog MAX.

Faith Destiny and Love

Like climbing a mountain.
So life has its pains and pleasures.
We make our destinies.
By the thoughts and actions of ourselves.
Strong faith can see us through.
What we have, we can and will do.
When two bond as one, they can then take this world on.
As their souls innerconnect.
Life will be what they expect.
Their Love is forever and more.

Netzer

You Are M y.Soul. The Other Half Of Me..
In Which most Of My Life It HasTaken To Be Not A Dream.
God Has Tested Us And Knows We Are Ready.
Brought Us TogetherTo FinallyTo Behold True And Forever LOVE.
 Mates We Are Always Now We Will Be.
To Look At You, Its Like You Know Me From Inside,My Desires,
Wants, And Needs. Feeling We Are So Close To Another Yet,
At The Moment We Are Miles  Apart.Choosing Ones In Hopes Of You.
Yet Falling Deeper In Doubt. For They Being Not You.
Searching On. To Know You, But Not Have Seen You.
We Wonder Our Feelings,Because Of This. Only We Do Know
Inside And Out. To Be One Is Our Destiny. Faith We Almost Lost.
Together It Has Blossomed To Life. To Let The Heavens See.
That As We Want To Be. In Our Heatrs Full Of Love. 
Unto Which Is Between You And Me. Thank You God For Bringing
ANNETTE To Me. I Promise You The God From Above.
That She Is The One. That I Want To Spread My Love Upon.
To Which Now I Ask You Dear That One Day You Take My Name.
I Promise. I Am Not Playing Any Games. For You I Desire,
More Then Anyone Before. In Which It Will Last Forever More.
ANNETTE I truely Love You.
