For Mephisto, our best friend (as was our beloved Borgia)

2001- 2011

All that’s left are the photos
And the memory of big brown eyes
And the tears and the loss and the sorrow
And the heartache when your dog dies

No better friend e’er graced the home of man
No gentler spirit beside us e’er walked and leaped and ran
Farewell my faithful friend
We’ll meet again in the halls of Pan

In the halls of Pan beyond the Western seas
Where amid the woods and glades
The laughter of our time shall be renewed
And from all grief and pain we find release

Now go chase rabbits in your long sleep
And run pain free amid the rain
Bark and run and leap and eat and sleep
And soon, so very soon, we’ll meet again
