Tributes

Tribute to Ginny

She's here I know.
I catch her out of the corner of my eye,
resting in her hammock,peaking around behind me.
I hear her I know,
just a rustle now and then,soft as soft can be and I turn,
she is out of sight but winking at me.
She came to us you know,
from fields afar,picked by a dear friend,
she came with such charm,quietly stealing into our hearts.
Do I hear her again? Yes,I'm sure that I do.
Tucked safely in my heart,does it show?
She's here I know.

"Porthos Farewell"

I see you both from where I'm at
A very grateful rat at that.
A tower of strength you've been for me
for with your love you set me free.
No more to suffer but free to roam over fields and clover this Rainbow's wove.
So don't you fret for I am fine, and memories I leave you, that gift is mine.
"For Kristin, Hugh, & Musketeers Two"

"Sleep in sweetness dear Athos "

It’s time my little friend to take a trip this day,
To be with me who has waited and made your way to be safe.
Don’t fret your way my little friend or worry for those you leave,
for in their hearts you’ll always be forever with me safe. "For Kristin, Hugh, & Musketeers One"
