Poco

Today I offer a tribute to a family pet:

Poco

He was a good little dog,
bravely protecting the world from cats
and the fingers of small children.

We will miss him,
that gentle, happy soul
who always walked proudly into a room!

But today he runs free,
into the arms of God
not to be forgotten by us on earth.

Goodbye, dear Poco.
Even tho' you piddled on my rug,
you were still my sweet 'little brother'.
