Still thinking about Kip here, and I wrote this poem for him today. I've posted it on his Doglost page but thought I'd put it on here as well
IN MEMORY OF KIP
The sun was shining brightly as you ran along the sand, your mum was close behind you with your lead held in her hand,
But you were having too much fun playing your own game, and you went too far to hear your mum when she called out your name.
No-one knows what happened but you ran right out of sight, your mum was really worried and she called with all her might.
Hours and days she searched for you and every night she'd pray, that tomorrow she would find you and it would be a happy day.
Lots of others joined the search and kept their fingers crossed, that everything would be okay for this blind dog that was lost.
And then one day the news came that the search need be no more, for your poor bedraggled body had been found upon the shore.
It seems that you had lost your way and gone for a long swim, then God reached out and took you up to Heaven to live with him.
Many tears were shed that day and hearts were truly broken, for the blind dog who was loved so much, and words could not be spoken.
The sun was shining brightly as we walked along the shore, forty, fifty people, and maybe even more.
The lifeboat sailed along with us - its captain and the crew and all the people on the beach had all turned out for you.
And as your ashes were sprinked in a line along the sand, a rainbow came across the sea, sent by God's own hand.
And as she looked up to the sky your mum was heard to say "Sleep tight sweet Kip, you're safe now, I know you'll be okay"
