SO LONG, PAL

We've wandered together
In all sorts of weather,
The sun on our coats and the wind in our hair.
We've traveled the highways,
The streets and the byways,
In country or city, with never a care.

In summer's lush greenness
Or winter's gray leanness
Through fields, over hills, just you and I, Boy.
And stopping or going
Or hasting or slowing
My word was your law, and my will was your joy.

No hills' rocky steepness,
No roaring stream's deepness
Could stop your swift leap or your brave onward stride,
With eyes full of laughter
You'd watch me crawl after,
But always you'd wait till I stood by your side.

But we've come to the lonely
Dark crossroads where only
One may go on, and the other must wait.
Do you watch my feet blunder
With slow steps, and wonder
Why I linger so long, why I'm coming so late?

They'll be long years and hollow
For me, till I follow,
But I think you'll be waiting for me as of yore,
And then at our meeting,
You'll bark a glad greeting,
And we'll start out anew, together once more.

Freddie
1984 ~ 1998

I carry a special place in my heart for "Freddiekins" as I used to call him.  He was my first Westie and the most special little guy that I have ever known.  He taught me many things-- I never knew an animal could be so smart and bring me so much happiness and joy.   I know I cannot replace him. If I could have cloned him I would have done so just to keep him with me forever.  And forever in my heart he remains.  I love you Freddie and look forward to seeing you at Rainbow Bridge.
