Bonnie One

We were dogs and you killed the man that hurt us

You were an Irish Setter with a coat the color of rust

No pedigree to speak of, I was just a mutt

When the humans saw what we did, they chased us and they cussed

We ran away, but we got trapped on a bridge

Too high to survive the jump, I just sat upon the ledge

Too scared to be caught, I took one last look

And I thanked you for your courage

I love you so

My darling one

To you, my heart I pledge

Just to know I was once known by you

My dear sweet Bonnie one
