Beyond the fence, but let her be.
She's on the trail, she's on the track,
Would not be fair to call her back.

My eyes grow moist to see her go,
My heavy heart will miss her so.
No more to sound, no more to run,
On this good earth our hunting's done.

Does God provide a dog a home,
A greater wood for her to roam?
Then this last hunt will never cease.
She's off the chain, and she's at peace. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 225 [topic] => 39 [informant] => manbeast [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Grief )

The Passing of a Hound

Topic: Grief

She's off the chain, she's free! she's free!
Beyond the fence, but let her be.
She's on the trail, she's on the track,
Would not be fair to call her back.

My eyes grow moist to see her go,
My heavy heart will miss her so.
No more to sound, no more to run,
On this good earth our hunting's done.

Does God provide a dog a home,
A greater wood for her to roam?
Then this last hunt will never cease.
She's off the chain, and she's at peace.

Reading this brought tears to my eyes.
Our family still misses our good friend and loyal companion, Dakota.
The pup he trained will never be a replacement but she has filled a very special place in our hearts.

A warm and touching write

Peace
~Shannon

this poem makes me miss my dog Dakota.
This poem touches me and it makes me feel a little at ease,
feeling that he is now at peace where he is.

I felt this, and yes there is a special place for our dogs when they leave us.
This is beautiful and sad wrapped into one, it left me with a few tears. This month is hard on me because I lost mine and though years have passed I always miss her, they are family to us.

Hugs you
Michelle
