Eyes deep black as the darkest night I'll lie beside you till morning light Face nestled below my chin Waiting for dawn to begin Ten years I have held you oh so near You chase away my darkest fear I feel your breath against my skin And let the nighttime close on in So many nights on you shoulder I cried For every heartbreak you've been at my side You've seen me at my worst, my best You are the leader of all the rest At morning light you curl right up Reminding me of you as a pup You look at me as if to say In bed is where you'd rather stay Well Colin, my Prince my Knight Sorry you're going to lose this fight Up! Off the bed! Come on let's go Go and play out in the snow! You’re the leader of this pack At your growl all jump back Silver and black, a scent that’s musky My heart and soul, my Siberian Husky ------------------ Illusion...what we see and what we do...it's all up to you. |

Excellent tribute to a true alpha, dear friend. He is certainly a good boy, though I think he takes his job as leader a bit too seriously. ------------------ Now and forever, my heart hears ~one voice~. DreamEvil© |

Smiling here...what a cute poem. I raised siberian huskys at one time, they are wonderful companions and oh do they love the snow This brought back some very pleasant memories...thank you |

Nice one. Obviously he is more than a pet. Thank you for sharing this so beautifully. ------------------ Once I was brilliant, now I no longer shine, but the twinkle in my eye speaks of another time. |

You have made me miss the dogs that I have had in the past. In California, the shaking of the bed I know now is from an earth quake and not my friends chasing fleas. |

Very nice. I never knew the love for an animal until my daughter got her cocker spaniel puppy and she (the dog) is now 1 year old. It's hard for me to believe that I now let this dog sleep with me. She even has to have her head on a pillow! She thinks she is human. But then, that's probably why I love her so much more than any of the other dogs we have had. I think of her as a kid not a dog. Well, somewhat. Anyway, I really enjoyed your poem. |

I do love this Watcher! I am a "dog person" through and through...and soooo lonely for my baby! (I left him with my ex and his dog...I couldn't bear to split the two dogs up, and he has all those woods to run in up there) I drive 100 miles regularly to visit him...yep, I know just how you feel about Colin! Great poem! ------------------ "Tread softly, for I have spread my dreams under your feet"~~William Butler Yeats |

There are a lot of us animal lovers out here - we're always amazed at what our own Abby gets away with! I'm also a cat lover and believe the two species get along together - when raised right. However, hubby is allergic [he says] to the feline persuasion, so I'll just have to make do. Good poem, thanks for sharing! |
