his garden
planted with springs gifts
tenderly
nursed by him
green shoots came forth aplenty
the promise to late

maggie a small red sheparerd
was his shadow in life
he lead she followed.

her sweet brown eyes
watched every move he made
always by his side.

maggie thought she was a cat
she sat on our laps
and slept on our bed.

each night he returned from work
she lay down at his feet
waiting for a good rub.

winter found her
before the fireplace
her deep brown eyes unknowable.

maggie loved snow
romping through drifts
with a black nose cold, eyes bright.

she lived for many years
and when it was time
he took care of it.

we never spoke of it again
he, moving a little slower
was never the same

his little shadow
guard dog, loving pet
gone forever

he too now is gone
from a the blue house we shared
I miss them both.
