Happy Birthday Dear Andrew





A Note To Andrew (An Ode To Jack)

Sometimes I look for traits in you

Of a great big dog you never knew.......

A dog that loved me all his days

And understood in special ways.

But that's not fair to you, Andrew;

You're not a substitute; but yourself!

You've eased the loss, soothed the pain

And tugged my laughter home again.

Yet, "Puppy", at times I almost start

When your eyes recall him to my heart

You'll never lack for love, it's clear

Because of him, you're twice as dear....
