<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It has almost been 9 years since Bubba has gone to
the bridge. I wrote a poem for him after he passed on. I have posted
it before but every so often at this time of year I like to share it
again.
Bubba(April 17,1999 - December 31,
2002)
Bubba Dog I miss you,
So
much, sometimes I cry,
I wonder why you had to
go,
I still don't quite know why,
You were only three years
old
You
had more life to live,
It
isn't fair for you to leave
With so much love
to give.
There are no
making deals with God,
To keep you here with me
There was nothing I could say or do
To change your destiny
I helped you come into
this world
So
full of constant doubt
Now I have to
face the
fact
That I must help you out</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The hardest thing I've ever done
Is letting go of you
But,
you with all your dignity
Helped me to get through
And so,we
took
The trip we had to take
The one where you can't come back
home
And caused my heart to break
I promised you no
suffering
When you've had enough
But when you told me it was time
Things got really rough
My heart is torn to
pieces
My life is different now
Everyday I think of you
I wonder and wish
somehow
You could come back to me
and once again be
whole
But I know this cannot happen
And
I feel it to my soul

comes through to the DD. </FONT></DIV>
