The Shepherd

 

Her eyes golden shades of amber;
Burned so bright, vibrant flames of life glowing from inside.
A look so fierce even the bravest of men would cower by her side.
Running against the wind and beating it every time.
Agility of a warrior and the heart of a champion.
My shepherd;
When I was weak she gave me strength
When my heart was broken in two she made it whole
Fearless in the face of danger, not a hesitation to lay down her life to save mine.
Inseparable a bond so strong always by my side.
Until my watchful protector grew frail so very weak, her time had come.
Laying by her side until that beautiful bright light drained from her eyes.
With a heavy heart and tears pouring from my eyes I kissed her forehead and said my last goodbye.
Time has passed and I still feel her by my side you will always be my silent guardian, until we meet again my shepherd, my love on the other side.
