It was a walk that would change me
For the rest of my life
Strolling hand in hand
Being pulled by the Labrador
Clearing our head from strife
Alas all was not as it may seem
Felt the pain to the core
Though some times were like a dream
Others like a nightmare
It was what made my heart bleed
Others stopped to stare
As a car came from nowhere
Racing down the street
Crossing the road at high speed
We didn't all make it safely
My heart still cries the tears
Of having lost Patchy
Even after all those years
My memory is filled with your beautiful black loving face
One of my first dogs
Always has a place
In my heart
