Written in honour of the devotion of my Border Collies ......


The Devoted

To me they are my life My reason for living Without them I would feel no joy, no sorrow, no delight, no love Be no longer bound to breath They are my sanctity My devotion The Devoted comfort me; warm me; hold me; Suspend me from harm in my darkest hours Rejoice in my lightest of dreams I fear my life without them For one day they will leave me Not of their Free Will They will be stricken with sorrow to depart But the same they will be taken from me By the Destroyer of all hope. Then abandoned I will wander aimlessly Without their devotion I will crumble I will fade By my Free Will I will seek to be with them forever Knowing that using my Free Will does prevent such a joyful reunion I will suffer onwards Ever looking forward to the joyful day When The Destroyer will visit me in my dark despair The Light will reunite me with them! Their devotion will envelop my Spirit With theirs we will soar The Devoted and I together!
