Faithful ‘Pippy’
by
Win Rainer
Oh faithful friend, Indeed you have been
Together we walk beneath the trees of green,
Enjoying life, just we two together
Forsaking me for others, you have never,
In times of great sadness you have always been with me
Soft wet nose against my face or head resting on my knee,
Such faith and understanding from golden brown eyes shine
Pippy, Oh Pippy, I’m glad you are mine
Now it’s farewell after many years
Heartbreak comes with silvery tears,
No more will we great the early light
Sniffing in hedge rows all dewy and white,
Walking amongst trees in Sandy Lane
What price the loneliness and the pain,
The time has come and there is no reprieve
For you my darling Pippy I will always grieve.
