When I was a child I dreamed of you. I searched and looked high and low. Months paaes till I found you. There you stood in a field-proud and strong-your mane and tial blew in the cold December wind.Our eyes met and it was love at first sight.As you drew near and nozzeled my arm I knew we were ment for each other-friends forever right from the start.. You came home Jan.3rd to my welcoming arms.You tested my friendship and my love. You learned to take carrots from my pocket as well as my mouth, you gave me kisses and even played tag with me.You followed me around like a puppy.You called to me when you saw me or heard my truck.YOu gave me so much love,pleasure and joy and happiness through out the years.All you asked for in return was love,your food and a lot of tlc. When you got sick I prayed to God it wasnt so-how could I bear to lose my best friend. You knew my every feeling and always showed how much you cared. I tried all I could do but I couldnt save you.YOu grew thin and so tired looking,but your love for me was still in your eyes.As I made arrangments for your finally rest-it tore me apart-I cant think of myself-I had to think of you. I couldnt let you suffer for I loved you to much. I wasnt strong enough to stay by your side as the end came-I wanted to remember all our fun together and the joy we shared-I dint want to see you suffer and in a deep every lasting sleep.I want to remember you running through the fields-the wind in our faces and the feeling of freedom.Your mane flowwing gracefully in the breeze,when you and I became one. I wont forget that misty August morn-you standing in the field-our final good-bye-the tears,the pain-for you my dear sweet SIX PACK the suffering is over- but for me it has just begun. I love you and miss you my dear sweet friend.
