Old blind dog running

His little paws are twitching something fierce
Running full out on a beach or in a field
Like he used to do, 
the fastest little cockapoo that lived

Before he lost his eyes
When disease made him blind
Fate, Sad and terrible fate

In this world he plods
Lifting little legs high
Broadly placing paws

In this life he moves slowly
Carefully, cautiously
He stays with me
And I him

Now I’m watching as he runs 
His little twitching feet the tell.
In dreams, or another world
Somewhere in God 
There is reprieve

He runs so fast he flies
His soul lifting upwards
On eagles wings
