This weekend will mark the second anniversary of our loss of our sweet boy Angel Phantom. We thought it might be nice to honor his memory with our first attempt at a poem for Angel Sammy and his new brother Teddy. We are so very thankful to have been able to share our lives with this very special dog for more than 16 years - Phantom is deeply missed and loved forever.
PHANTOM
November 20, 1998 - April 2, 2015
P
is for PHANTOM
Phantom,
our blue-eyed boy.
Meek
and gentle and shy was he.
Yet
he lived a life of fun and joy,
Always
happy as can be.
He
had a heart of gold
With
just a hint of mischief,
With him the gods broke the mold
He
was quite the special gift.
He
could melt your heart
With
a look from those eyes.
He
never asked for much,
Just
a tasty treat or a warm touch.
We
miss him still;
He
was truly a treasure.
Never
very healthy, but with a very strong will.
Sharing
his life was our pleasure.
Mr.
Blue Eyes, we love you
Forever
and ever - yes, we do.
It is so hard to believe it has been two years, we miss that sweet guy too. Those wonderful eyes always got us and your poem was lovely. Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
