To my dear friend and my darling dog

....

After A While, Crocodile

Life sometimes sneaks by so quietly
like the current of a shallow, lazy river
The clouds silently roll over fields of green
the haunting cry of a loon makes me shiver
Nothing catches my seeking eyes
as I look to see what the next gift will be
I can hear the raspy call of a duck
flying under the umbrella of an old birch tree
I feel you close, pressed against my thigh
Your next journey has not yet truly begun
A warm tongue reaches out to lick my hand
to reassure me that our time is not done.
We both know that this time is no longer ours
We will soon hug and sadly part our ways
Your journey will take you so far away from me
We won't meet for many again for many long days.
Love does not end when a chapter closes
You and I are forever a team.
When I close my eyes, I'll still feel you
When I sleep, you'll be in my dreams.
Thank you for what you lent to me
you raced through this life with a smile
Thank you for the friend that you became
I'll see you after a while, Crocodile.

Thank you, Billy.  She was one of the most special animals I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.  She was beautiful, smart, had a wonderful sense of humor and I learned so much from her.
