Stormy

Our hearts were filled with joy over our new foal,
and tonight we weep.
Our Stormy died.
He was not only the brave guardian of our sheep,
but was also:
a friend,
a companion,
a mentor to the pups,
he was gentle,
kind,
honest,
he was my soul mate
and I miss him already knowing he is not there.

"Remember me and smile,
for it is better to forget,
than remember me and cry."
