We met Frank and his dog
\n\u201cspot\u201d whose blue eyes did hold
\nA wearisome outlook
\nIn the wind cold
\nWanting to walk
\nTo play with his stick
\nTake in the countryside
\nAnd just to lick
\nThe wind scape
\nThe cool air
\nA passionate hound
\nFrom number one
\nHe covered the ground<\/p>\n
Frank was a sportsman
\nA Libran who knew
\nThe ways of the forest
\nAnd what he could do
\nRecently pained an tested by Ill
\nBut loving the vista
\nAgreeing the chill<\/p>\n
The flavour of Wales
\nIt\u2019s knowledge, his wealth
\nThe people that reap
\nThe peculiar stealth
\nThe howl of the wind
\nCourting with the trees
\nThe rush of the cars
\nAnd the pain in his knees
\nA sportsman of note
\nWith a frantic acclaim
\nTo run and to cycle
\nAnd swimming fair game <\/p>\n
Pushing his heart
\nFrank clearly felt
\nQuietened by the weakness
\nHis age did inpart
\nSo many years round the area he
\nLovingly worked in his house
\nOne could see
\nTested by the soil urge
\nAnd with that feel free<\/p>\n
\u201cSpot\u201d a good dog
\nA friend, who before
\nHad taken a beating
\nHad realised war
\nWith anger and nastiness
\nHad taken its toll
\nSensing the wary
\nKnowing his role<\/p>\n
To being aware
\nOf strangers who he
\nNeeded to know for acceptance
\nCan free
\nRemaining stalwart
\nCalmed in his way
\nOf loving his manner
\nOn the given day<\/p>\n
Clearly protected by Frank
\nHis true friend
\nCompany really
\nBoth of them lend
\nFavour to caring and sharing
\nTheir lot
\nA wonderful partner
\nTo his canine friend \u201cSpot\u201d<\/p>\n
Frank knew the forest
\nHis country, the brave
\nEager to exercise
\nWanting to save
\nHitting the road
\nAnd savouring much
\nClearly together
\nThis pair were in touch<\/p>\n
The road it was fast
\nPeople drove at a speed
\nRounding the bends
\nWith a danger indeed
\nIn the watery vista
\nThis tangle of trees
\nOutcrops and wild growth
\nAnd masses of leaves<\/p>\n
Frank was at home
\nKnowledgable, He
\nKnew every step of his
\nGenuinely
\nWith it the breathing
\nThe cold
\nThe gurgling stream
\nThis neck of the woods
\nEngulfed every dream<\/p>\n
It was good meeting Frank
\nGood at the lo cal
\nHow times had changed
\nAnd \u201c spot\u2019 too, his pal
\nClearly together a man and his dog
\nWho skirted the dry
\nAnd who skirted the bog
\nLoving the action
\nReaction and need
\nTo be out in the air
\nAnd just really succeed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
