In Memory

Sarge
Of your bravery today
protecting your homestead
without fear.

A true soldier
you took on the world
no matter how
big
strong
or frightening
they were.

You laughed
at the face of danger
and with us
when you ran

Refusing
to bow down
no matter what the odds
or the risk
of the rolled-up newspaper.

As a family
we were one
and it didnt matter
how different we smelt
or looked.

The heart that pulsed
the one you own
was not one of
a trickster
rascal
or the annoying nuisence
nothing like what
we made you out to be.

You were a true warrior
Loyal
Brave
and Daring

For that we salute you.

Sarge.

Today marks the day a loyal brother of mine has passed. Sarge was no ordinary dog. He was, in my eyes, a hero. He bit a cobra that snuck into the garden. The cobra bit him back. Sarge died protecting his home. And his family. Sarge, your troops miss you so badly that it hurts. We will hold your memory with honour. Smile always, trickster.
