Thank you, Peter, for the drawing of Holly and the understanding of what it's like to love a dear pet.

Thank you, CF, for the poem.

Dedicated to my sweetness, Holiday Inn Wompuss Johnson Durand.

1982 ~ 2000

Wompuss, my Sweetness

I will love you...
As long as I can think,
as long as I have a memory...

I will love you...
As long as I have eyes to see
and ears to hear
and lips to speak...

I will love you...
As long as I have
A heart to feel,
a soul stirring within me,
an imagination to hold you...

I will love you
As long as there is time,
as long as there is love,
as long as there is you,
and as long as I have a breath to
speak your name...

I will love you,
because I love you more
than anything in
all the world.
