“Me and my Shadow”

He followed, trusting, strangers still
And let her lead him, at his free will.

Knowing not how long he’d stay
But glad to have this wonderful day!

Brought some baggage, knew how much
He’d been through, didn’t dare to touch.

Had to learn the ropes again
To earn their trust, this dear old Dane.

Never thought he’d stay so long
His mistress thought he’d do no wrong!

Seven blissful years he spent,
Till his time to enter Heaven’s Gate.
