Bandit

I have always known
the worth of Bandit
I have always known
his loss would be profound
I have always known
we were one
he calmed my restless spirit
he chased away what I could not
he heard what I could not
he guarded me when I needed guarding
he was a true Lhasa
the ancient guardian
whose spirit has reunited with
his ancestors some 4,000 years ago

    Simple, carefully crafted, both timeless and of a time when Bandit was on duty. Beautifully pointed toward what an ally can be, whether a child, an adult, highly trained or simply loyal, and in this case a dog with deep seated devotion. I will read it often as a reminder of so much in so few words.

You certainly put a fresh spin on a subject that has been discussed for a long time. Wonderful stuff, just excellent!
