it is to lose a beloved pet. Our pets become something special and are
true members of our family: they are our children. On Oct 12, 2006 Rodica
Stoicoiu lost her beautiful Basset Hound, Olivia, after 14 years of loyal
and loving companionship. This poem was written for Olivia and Rodica by
Club Member Cynthia P Baker, our very talented, poet-in-residence.-

For Rodica & Olivia, and, one day, for Cass....By
Cynthia P Baker
-
Sweetest Dreams
-
Matriarch of the pack,
-
She
lies sleeping in the sun.
-
Life
has been good to her
-
And
she has no fears,
-
Only
the grey hairs of a
-
Long
life graced with
-
Good
treats and love.
-
Her
naps grow gently longer
-
Now
and in her dreams she
-
Runs
unfettered by reality.
-
When
she wakes, she wants
-
Only
the feel of a loving hand
-
And
then she slips back
-
To a
world of youth.
-
My
good puppy, my darling girl,
-
For
years the keeper of my heart,
-
Sleep
on, love, and run in
-
The
fields of infinity.
