A Place for Us

To my Dinny, My sweetness, My little love                                From my arms you left this world but never from my heart.

I Loved You Best                                                                                 So this is where we part, My Friend,                                                   and you’ll run on around the bend,                                                       gone from sight, but not from mind,                                                    new pleasures there you’ll surely find.  I will go on, I’ll find the strength, life measures quality, not in it’s length.                               One long embrace before you leave,                                                 share one last look before I grieve. There are others, that much is true, but they be they, and they aren’t you.                                    And I, fair, impartial, or so I thought,                                                   will remember well all you’ve taught.  Your place I’ll hold, you will be missed, the fur I stroked, the nose I kissed.                                 And as you journey to your final rest,                                                 take with you this..........I loved you best.
