In Memory of Lea

11/3/92-6/13/02

"Amber Eyes"

There's a black dog in the moonlight,

That only I can see,

Gentle, silent, amber eyes,

Smiling back at me.


She comes to me at Dreamtime.

I feel her presence near.

Is this a dream or fantasy,

Or is she really here?


She nuzzles me so softly,

I reach to touch her face,

Her image fades so suddenly,

Leaving nothing in its place.


Her memory does haunt me,

At night when I'm alone.

I miss her laughing, amber eyes

And the bond that we had known.


Those gentle eyes so shining,

Do pull upon my heart,

But I know someday we'll meet again,

And then we'll never part.
