Ode to Alfie |
Our beautiful hound, our handsome boy, Whose life gave all of us so much joy. So small in time; so large in life . . . Leaves pain so sharp . . . cuts like a knife. Perpetually in puppy state No one could ever have guessed your fate, Gigantic form and shaggy hair, Stood so strong With royal air, A bounding stride A bark so deep . . . Memories we will always keep . . . Our gentle giant; dog of kings. King of dogs . . . With angel wings. Sue Highfield |
