MY KERRY AND ME

We walk along my Kerry and me
To see what is that we can see
And as she looks both here and there
She stops to smell what's in the air

The birds, the trees, the sights and sounds
Enthralls my Kerry to leaps and bounds
She turns her head as if to say
"Come on my friend, it's time to play!"

She runs so fast paws skimming the ground
I can't keep up, oh please slow down!
Within a blink she's back to stay
Tail wagging, tongue dangling, fur in disarray

She licks my face and snuggles close by
We sit and watch as geese fly by
I can't imagine how life would be
without my friend, my Kerry, and me

This poem is dedicated to my first
Kerry, FeeBee, who imprinted my
heart  with the endearing charm of the
Kerry Blue Terrier.
