2001 My Space Odyssey

When I was a young man in nineteen sixty-eight, I saw a famous flick;

Called “2001 A Space Odyssey”, and its essence on me would stick!

For it was a portent into our future, and what mankind would someday see;

But I never dreamt of how that year, would become a “very important part” of me!

For on July 26th two thousand one, my soulmate came to earth;

Via a Bichon Friese puppy litter, as his doggie Mommy gave him birth!

Twelve weeks later we went and bought him, the most beautiful of them all;

His new Mommy and I heard our hearts sing, for in love we’d quickly fall!

The first time that I held him, our souls joined up as one;

And in that glorious instant, my “space Odyssey” had begun!

For we traveled to the stars and back, so many times a day;

He showed me where Nirvana was, and how there to always stay!

Of course, by natures’ own strict law, “Whatever comes down must go back up”;

And in a little less than fourteen years, I lost my soulmate pup!

But he often comes to visit me, in dreams that are so dear;

And when it comes my time to rise up too, again he will always be so near!
