For As Long As I Can
No one wanted the older dog
But you brought me home
Thankful for the time we’ll share
And I will be grateful to you for as long as I can.
My face is whiter now and I’m not so limber
But you are patient
Taking it easy and slow
And I will walk with you for as long as I can.
You’ll never know about my world “before”
But that’s ok, because the rest of my life
Will be spent at your side
And I will stay with you for as long as I can.
My eyes tell the story
Of love lost and found
Safe at last, I lay happily at your feet
And I will be your friend for as long as I can.
Time knows no reasons
But hearts know no bounds
We were meant to be together
And I will love you for as long as I can.

I will be fostering a "senior golden" tonight until I drive her over to Rescue tomorrow morning. I should be meeting to pick her up about 6:45 and I'll take some pics of her to post on my blog. If I didn't work and had an unlimited resource for money, I would adopt them all too!!
That is such a beautiful poem - I'm crying while reading it. I'm with you - I wish I had a big piece of land where they could all come and be safe. Oh, and lots of money to feed them all:)
