FOR  BESS

I MISS YOU BESS.

Bess a me'
"Kiss me"
You came to me as a gangly, shy puppy
and together
we became a team.
Your work
made my day
an easier thing.
Your play
lightened my heart!
The times
I would glance out,
seeing you lying
with the herd.
I   knew that my world
was safe ,
  with you in it.
The look in your eyes
when I  was loving on you,
or praising you
for a job well done.
-Bess-
"Good job, Bess!"
I know that
you are watching over God's flocks now.
