Reflection & Celebration
The saying goes with the passing of time love grows stronger, can this be so
How can I not know …
I reflect on the day a glossy black bundle and Canine Partners came bounding into my life leaving it forever changed
Reminiscing on those first awkward moments as we toiled and forged our bond
Her love like an anchor has grown steady, never faltering, staying dark days
Lifting, tugging, pulling, supporting, loving in so many ways
We are chastened; Never ask a lady her age #
But this muzzle now speckled with stardust revealing how the years have passed
Oh, how I thought this love would never last
So dear friends as we caress our 4 legged champions, arms please raise
Applaud 30 years of CP give them praise
For like the mighty Oak shooting forth growth & lending succor
We shelter under it’s canopy
No more left to wonder
For, Canine Partners is – our family
