Our Black beauty ( A eulogy )
Twas September in your eyes i knew
Pain hath a hold of you
Cruel depths of death
wanted your final breath
Outdoor winds hurried trees
Leaves strewn as bugle blew
Sadness engulfed my sorry heart
Man's best friend pulse withdrew
Shine still , Black fur did
Alas dormant fester hid
Darkness won that day
But our light never fade'th away
Goodbye gentle soul
from me , Taken too soon
When summer ends no sorrow i'l sigh
As autumn will always mean you
A eulogy for our canine friend Ralph

We lost our dog this Autumn and this is my goodbye poem . It's took me until now to write.
