In loving Memory of... Ch. Von Charisma's Destiny "SABIA" July 23, 1992 - Aug. 11, 2005 I said Good-Bye to my life, constant companion, my first Champion, my shadow at the age of 13.......Thank you Sabia for giving "me" the best years of your life. Until we meet again. There will never be another SABIA.. ~IF IT SHOULD BE~ If it should be I grow frail and weak and pain should wake me from my sleep, then you must do what must be done for this last battle can't be won. We both know my life is done. I know in time you too will see it is a kindness you do to me. Although my tail its last has waved from pain and suffering I've been saved. I'm in heaven now playing puppy games! You will be sad, I understand Our love and friendship will stand the test. Do not grieve that it should be you who has to decide this thing to do. We've been so close these 13 years don't let your heart hold any tears, sorrow or grief. We've had so many happy times what is to come will hold no fears. You'll not want me to suffer, so when the time comes, please let me go, Mommy Dear. We are born to live and thus to die, Each life is a different size. When you look at the stars up in the sky I am there right by your side my tail wagging saying, Hi mom! We loved, we played, we had such fun Let these be the things you focus on. I'll fly free as a bird, no pain to hold You loved me enough to let me go! Our love stood the test and we both won! The pain I suffered is now done. And so SABIA, your life slipped out of mine On a quiet, summer day But I knew that a part of you Was always here to stay I will always love you Sabia.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vicki Burkey SABIA: http://members.aol.com/Shondi3/SABIA1.html Von Charisma German Shepherds http://members.aol.com/VAbby17801/VCGShepherds.html Lordstown,Oh. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
