My precious Angel Linda, never had children of her own;
An operation as a young woman, made her ovaries uncondoned!
We met in nineteen ninety-two, we fell in love instantly;
She had a gorgeous German Shepherd, Nicki, her name be!
.
She loved her as a child, like the one she never had;
But just fourteen months later, Nicki left us, both so sad!
Then for eight years we had no puppy, till Fall two thousand-one;
When we decided to get our Nico, named for Nicki, our life begun!
.
Then in late Spring of two thousand three, we got him a little bro;
His doggie mom had birthed a litter, so back to his breeder did we go!
She had seven little puppies, we selected the wildest one;
He chased his six other siblings, and terrified, they would run!
.
We named him Baby Cody, we used the last two letters of Nico’s name;
Their hearts bonded so instantly, their Souls did just the same!
For almost twelve years they were together, till dear Nico left our sides;
The three of us mourned him daily, such tears we ever cried!
.
Then Linda had just one baby, to dote on, and give her love;
But sadly, two and one-half years later, Cody joined Nico up above!
Now, without both of her babies, she has the darkest of despair;
For once, they laid beside her, but now they’re no longer there!
