The Dog Woman Poem by Francis Duggan

Known as The Dog Woman she aged in the graceful way
She never used hair dye to hide her wrinkles or hair dye to cloak her gray
Her husband long deceased their only offspring their daughter a grandmother with her husband in the U S of A
One she had not seen for many a day
A beautiful person free of conceit or guile
So kind in her ways with a beautiful smile
One always willing to help those of helping in need
Everyday of good Karma she planted the seed
A woman who loved dogs she volunteered in the R S P C A
And helped to care for the homeless dogs every day
In her mid eighties of late not feeling well
Last week it did toll for her the farewell bell
Her parting from life quite a painless release
The lovely Dog Woman may she rest in peace.
