"Ivy Rose-Royce" cling to me;
a friend for life you'll surely be.
"Why did you name her Ivy Rose-Rose?
Someone ask of me."
Well, Ivy is just what I want her to be,
Three points to a leaf in my life!
What do you mean by that? To which I
responded by heart, Ivy is LOVE,FAITH & LOYALTY.
But she's just a dog! I heard them say...
"Oh she's much more than that to me."
Really, Why did you name her Ivy Rose-Royce?
Does she smell like a Rose or look like a car?
Rose-Royce is a slip of the tongue, or a play
on words,and it was her great grandma's name
who, was also dear to me.
So, there it is, this little black bundle of fur
and fun. LOVE, FAITH and LOYALTY all rolled into one.
And when you hear me call her and she comes running too,
The feelings are quite mutual, don't you think it so,
and; can't you feel it too?
LOVE, FAITH , LOYALTY, for these are the leaves in
the pages of our lives! Aren't we all like clinging vines?
IN MEMORY OF "IVY ROSE-ROYCE" Feb.17th 1993 to Dec. 26th 1999
I wrote the above when Ivy was less than 2 wks old but, as I
re-read those words I realize just how much Ivy taught me about
LOVE FAITH AND LOYALTY. SADLY MISSED AND NEVER FORGOTTEN
