Before I Go....

When my life has reached its very end,
And I take that final breath;
I want to know I've left behind.
Some 'good' before my death.

I hope that in my final hour,
In all honesty I can say;
That somewhere in my lifetime,
I have brightened someone's day.

That maybe I have brought a smile
To someone else's face,
And made one moment a little sweeter,
While they dwelled here in this place.

Lord, please be my reminder
And whisper softly in my ear...
To be a 'giver' not a 'taker'
In the years I have left here.

Give to me the strength I need,
Open up my mind and my soul
That I might show sincere compassion,
And love to others before I go.

For if not a heart be touched by me,
And not a smile was left behind....
Then the life that I am blessed with,
Will have been a waste of time.

With all my heart, I truly hope
To leave something here on earth...
That touched another, made them smile
And gave to my life....worth!

With the qualities a breeder looks
for in a prospect, "Shyloh" will pass on
her likeness to her future litters.
So very gentle and kind "Shyloh"
is easy to handle in the
conformation ring.
Her balanced movement is smooth
and flawless which rewarded her
with a Best of Breed over top
Canadian Specials her last time out.
With three points short of her Championship,
"Shyloh" is now being shown by
Christine Rehmann and is
Co-owned with her daughter, Nancy.

Shyloh left our world to
join her friends
At The Rainbow Bridge
on June 25, 2002.
'Rest In Peace 'Shyloh' you are sorely missed!'
