You Be My Master Once Again

You Be My Master Once Again

High milky mountains
Under the sky, icey blue
Wilderness of valley so rousing
Concealed under pine grove
Chasing up, retrieving and doodle
Were so thrilling for me and Noodle

Crave for weekends were thriving
Family soccer and master's driving
Seek and fetch was a usual break
After finishing a strenuous treck
"Good Girl Noodle!" and a kiss
Would flatter and put her in bliss
"You Fatty, bloody naughty"
And, Master's pat on my bum
Was a compliment for me
And my most desired thump

That wicked black kitty Kate
Eyeing on my bread at the gate
Making her run
Was such a fun
Days were warm to stretch upon
On snow cladded carpet lawn
Wintry chill would rise by sunset
Master would wrap me in blanket
Like a pearl, inside the casket.

It was a freezy,  chilling day
Finished our trek n called it a day
After a hectic weekend, so tired
Got to a warm corner and retired
I was sleeping to glory, under a cozy sheet
Suddenly I sensed, some scorching heat
Before I realised, what's the game
Aghast to see, our home in flame
Struggled a lot, to break the chain
All my efforts, were going in vain

Lost all hope, "Would I survive ?"
Suddenly, door broke, and master arrives
Lifted me and rushed for door
Muttered, "Bloody fatty, you better buck up"
Exhausted and stumbled on the floor
Fighter in my master, wouldn't give up
Drained and collapsed, at the door
Mumbled, "Good Bye, Maggie, this time"
"Be my buddy, again, next time"

Oh, come on  Master,
You are a fighter
I am not leaving you, alone here
Following you to heaven, Oh my dear
In our next life, we'll meet again
You be my master, once again
