Lady Rum Poem by Nina Hall

If a dog is mans best friend
Then you were his woman shadow
For many years each footstep
Has been yours to follow

And all the miles that we've chased
And all the creatures met
A sledge dog rescue rehired twice
Barked you aint seen nothing yet! !

The kindest dog you were to us
And everyone around
"So Calm" people smiled and said
A strength without a sound

We have a secret you and I
That no one else shall know
For who but I can see you sleep
Each night in pillows throw

And who but me can reach my hand
Before we go to bed
And say goodnight our Romani
And fuss your soft beige head

And only we walk woodland paths
And see you charging free
Blue eyes and racing with the wind
So strong and wild and free

And only we can see you sense
The forests and the sky
And when I call no one but I
Can see the bending rye

And we shall miss your loving nudge
When love was needed some
Were honored to have loved you
Our pretty Lady Rum
