<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;">Goodbye Aric</p>

<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;"> </p>

<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;">You were a gift
out of nowhere --</p>

<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;">joined<span style="">   </span>me in a trek through the woods,</p>

<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;">when I most needed
someone --</p>

<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;">with barks that
could crack a sidewalk --</p>

<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;">courage that could
stare down a bear.</p>

<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;">You ran like a torrent
going downstream.</p>

<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;"> </p>

<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;">How I lost you will
never be known.</p>

<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;">Did you know how
long I cried for you?</p>

<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;">You were there
and then just disappeared. </p>

<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;">I never knew
what happened to you --</p>

<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;">whether hit by a
careless car</p>

<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;">or stolen from
the barren streets</p>

<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;">to languish
away in a sterile cage</p>

<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;">and tortured in
some laboratory.</p>

<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;">Did someone
take you for a pet,</p>

<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;">not knowing a
heart in anguish, </p>

<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;">left empty and
bereft by its loss?</p>

<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;"> </p>

<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;">Do you know I
looked for you everywhere? --</p>

<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;">in a black dog
that looked like you?</p>

<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;">Hell is to find
and unfind so quickly.</p>

<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;">My grieving seemed
to last forever.</p>

<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;">Even now I
sometimes call your name.</p>

<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;">I guess 40 years
is enough.</p>

<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;">You are long gone
from this green earth.</p>

<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;">So why do I
persist in looking? </p>

<p class="yiv4154816401MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;"> </p>
