My Jilly
by Georgia Bland.........................................
My Jilly

Her hazel eyes with a purple haze
glistened into a blinding fade

Her wet brown nose was
never too shy to strike a pose

Her soft tail long and warm
protected me in a thunder storm

Her creamy fur and ginger curls
always was our baby girl

When I was young and afraid
her basket was where I had stayed

I loved her so i love her still
and I know so surely I always will

Yes I knew her heart was slowing down
she was my queen with a golden crown

Her paws were soft and shiny
each golden hair so tiny

As she made her final walk to her bed
I reminded myself of what I said

I kissed her softly and told her how beautiful she was
and that she was the best

She fell asleep so deep she never awoke
and made her journey to Rainbow Bridge

I am so grateful that she was mine
a dog so gentle a dog divine

I miss you x-x-x
