Jokare's Shalom Von Oden

"Shalom"

Tribute to Shalom

My little girl my love of my life.
She never left my side most of her life.
Her name was Shalom, five years of peace she was for me.
A very special Angel she just happened to be.

She protected our house she protected me.
Even off lead, she would stay so very close to me.
Not a foot off the curb would she go unless told.
So obedient and awesome so very beautiful and bold.

She was not sick at all when we left on a trip.
She was staying at the kennel of our trusted Vets.
I thought she was safe she always loved to go.
The shock of my life the sorrow I now know.

On my return she was dead she was gone.
I thought I would die, the love of my life was now gone.
It was stomach torsion that took her on that final day.
Even when I think of her now the tears just will not go away.
