Lola

     There is a land of green  beyond

     with meadows lush and galore

     Where all beloved pets do go

     to romp forever more..........

     The old and frail are there made young

     And maimed restored as whole

     But yet somehow found incomplete

     A sadness in their soul.

     Until that fateful day arrives

     when head perks up with glee.

The nose does twitch and eyes shine

with familiarity.

And now it races from the pack

to kiss your face once more

The forepaws scratching

at your knee

Embrace me as they did before.

For now we are  together whole

beyond a rainbow's bend.

Where love will keep us safe entwined

and broken hearts will mend.
