Through the whispering woods, I tread once more,
Soft echoes of paws upon the forest floor.
Fallen leaves hold stories old,
Of laughter, barks, and hearts of gold.
Years ago, under these ancient trees,
Walked beside me, a friend with boundless ease.
A German shepherd, loyal and wise,
With knowing eyes that touched the skies.
Now, by my side, small steps anew,
A puppy's wonder, skies bright blue.
His eager paws, a fresh refrain,
Yet shadows dance with memories' stain.
Each rustling leaf, a soft recall,
Moments cherished, lost but tall.
But in this trail, both past and new,
Old love lives, and grows anew.
For with every step, and joyful bark,
The woods remember, hearts leave marks.
Two shepherds, stories intertwined,
One in my heart, one by my side confined.
