Alfy's Tribute
A Story by Vanessa
" If you have men who will exclude any of
God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity,
you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow man. "

I Loved You Best

So this is where we part, My Friend,
and you'll run on, around the bend,
gone from sight, but not from mind,
new pleasures there you'll surely find.
I will go on, I'll find the strength,
life measures quality, not its length.
One long embrace before you leave,
share one last look, before I grieve.
There are others, that much is true,
but they be they, and they aren't you.
And I, fair, impartial, or so I thought,
will remember well all you've taught.
Your place I'll hold, you will be missed,
the fur I stroked, the nose I kissed.
And as you journey to your final rest,
take with you this ... I loved you best.
For Alfy

A little friend on tiny feet. One that I was glad to meet
A cheeky face and glowing eyes. A rescue dog, his mother's pride
I knew you'd lived a happy life. Far from early pain and strife
So long ago, at one month old, Moonflower took you into the fold.
She nurtured you with caring hands, including you in all her plans
You saw the wounded as they came. One by one, lost, stranded, lame -
you gave them courage, shared your space. Your toys and food, your quiet place.
You watched them heal with love and care knowing you had once been there.
And through it all your days were bright, with kindness, fun and peaceful nights
You felt the warmth of family ties, and knew your trust was recognised.
Days rolled past to golden years - Tonight our smiles turn to tears
For you have journeyed to the rainbow's end,
and over the bridge you will meet old friends
You will know who needs a gentle paw, for you have been at danger's door
You know how it feels when the world seems blue because you rescued the lonely too
A dog in a million, a warrior soul - If only time didn't take its toll
You will never be forgotten, your heart lives on.
For those you loved, a special bond - Sleep safe little Alfy, a blessing of joy
And know that your spirit is with us sweet boy.
We are just two individuals who did what we could to take in those animals who are in need of sanctuary and we give to them all the love, food and safe housing that they require - for their lifetimes !
Many people have made a wish to help out with the cost of food, and upkeep of the animals homes ... we appreciate so muchand thank you for caring enough
to help us along !
FriendsThe Field
There is a field in Cornwall
Where animals spend their life
A similar story was written
But this man did not use a field
He built himself "An Ark"
Both these men have a true belief
That animals need their care
And the world should just be thankful
That there are men like this out there
