Don't Cry For Me  - A Tribute to K-9 Kelly

a poem in memory of his K-9 partner Kelly whom we lost in September due to illness

by Jennifer Boujoukos

 

Don't cry for me, because I'm still here

Sometimes I whisper that in your ear.

A K-9 partner for you, a friend for me

What a match we had begun to be.

So many times with you I'll never forget

You made me a Deputy and also a pet.

I worked hard for you all the while

Nose to the ground, tracking for miiles.

I wore my badge with a sense of pride

Waiting to find the perfect hide.

A love for the job through and through

I would've laid down my life for you.

Training together day after day

Work for you, for me just play.

I was invincible with you at my side

A strong personality I couldn't hide.

The sickness that took me, I tried to fight

Who would ride with my partner at night?

I'm sorry to leave you and take a final fall

You tried to save me, you gave it your all.

Don't cry for me, because I still roam

It was just my time, God called me home.
