The Flight of My Falcon

The Flight of my Falcon was long and true Through his Strength and his Love and his Mischief too Over obstacle fence and tree he flew I never knew what to expect... it was always something new Born an unpredictable mutt... I never knew what he would do Stubborn and Tenacious, made of pure Brute Srength One of earth's Mighty Characters I think His proud Handsome Face and Powerful Frame Would carry him into my Canine Halls of Fame Everywhere we went, wherever we'd go That Face captured attention like some kind of Van Gogh Loyal and Protective right through to the end Always in my heart my old Awesome Friend Though time ticked away and stole his youth Deep down inside... I feel the truth That now he is not here next to me Because the Flight of my Falcon Has finally set him Free - for Falcon our "Warrior Dog"
