Poised to defend herself; fearless and afraid
Her dark eyes riveted my heart, told her tale
Broken trust, battery and loneliness prayed
Black and tan, she came to me seeking avail

Poised to defend her; fearless and afraid
Her dark eyes implored, divined meeting really
Broken trust, battery and loneliness paid
Black and tan, my companion so dearly

Properly treated, she grew leaps and bounds
Her dark eyes to sparkle, new languages taught
Broken dreams left behind in bleak kennels and pounds
Black and tan, she came forward from all that she fought

Properly treated, she played one fine day
Her dark eyes caught sight of the birds as they flew
Broken dreams and bundles of mishaps away
Black and tan, a bright light in my life yet I knew

Poised to defend her; fearless and afraid
Her dark eyes searched out to recapture so free
Broken trust was repaired, and in my lap laid
Black and tan, a companion and friend dear to me

They become a part of us....and when we have
lost them,  we have lost a part of our own
soul....You speak so eloquently of a very
special part of you...
