I used to see you walk slowly on your neighborhood rounds

Saw your limp and thought you were an old codger

Later, I learned that you had been hit by a car

Your limp was the result

I’m glad you stayed around Walt, for me to meet you

And enjoy your beautiful Being!

You were always such a gentleman

Very tolerant of other species too, including humans!

A big guy with a Big Heart! Soulful eyes

I can still feel your curly coat beneath my fingers

I know that now your body is young again and running free

Catching the wind in your silky coat

Smiling that Knowing smile that you had here amongst us

On your sweet precious face

I will miss you Walt

You are Pure Light now Walt

And I know that we will meet again Dear Friend

Spirit Eagle
