"A LETTER TO DAWN"
by Shelley Andrews
Dear Dawn,
You know I loved you,
I always said
I gave you a pat
As you lay in your bed
A cookie from granny
At night as you sat
A belly rub from papa
And pat on the head

I would go out
And there you would be
Waiting at the door
For a treat maybe
But more than that
You just wanted me home
To be by my side
And follow where I roam

I know you were suffering
It was hard on me too
So I prayed and I pleaded
With God to take you
I knew I had no right
And I didn't think he'd listen
It happened so fast
That now I am wishing

You were back with me now
Cuz I cannot bare it
The house seems empty
Without you in it
I know I'm being selfish
The other dogs are here
But you really warmed our hearts
And we have a place for you here

Today you are gone
Only hours ago
I still smell you
And see you
And wonder where did you go

So Dawneybrooke,
Mugsey, Blondie and Dawn
We love you still
Even though you are gone
We hope you didn't mind
All the nicknames we gave
They were meant as just loving
For someone so giving

Good-bye my dear friend
I don't know how I shall sleep
But rest assured
Thoughts of you I shall keep
Close to my heart
You will always be
Dawn, I Love You
As much as you loved me...Mommy

Dawn ~ Fawn Boxer 3/16/91 to 10/7/04
