In Memory Of Thunder

"Thunder"

He was such a handsome puppy,
his eyes so full of trust
So we chose him for our family
(Or more likely he chose us)

Bobby named him Thunder,
a name that fit him well
But with his special qualities
no name alone could tell

He was so majestic
as he stood so proud and tall
A protector of the children,
and devoted to them all

He'd bound outside to greet us,
like a long lost friend
Relieved that with us home
his world was right again

People fool themselves
into thinking pets need them
How quickly we discovered how
much more we needed him

We planned on many years
but the news was very grim
So no longer were we able
to share our lives with him

Thunder was the best
so God needed him above
For a lonely angel
in need of a friend's love

We'll find another puppy
our lives and love to share
But forever in our hearts
our Thunder will be there

(poem written by a friend)
