Yorkapedia: A Collection Of Verses About The Yorkies In My Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781088279939)

A perfect book for anyone who has ever loved a Yorkie. Twenty-three short verses on everything about the ardent affection, energy, and spunk these tiny furry bundles bring to our lives. The love and the loss is detailed in heartfelt verses that any Yorkie lover can easily relate to. Stephen details puppyhood, the fun they bring to our households and the sorrow when they are gone:

From "Raw Pain", about loss:

"Yet bound in this knot of endless despondence,

is this essence of love a very odd cadence.

A love of such pureness it frightens the soul.

A love of such sweetness not many will hold.

I wish you back

to finish this dance.

I wish your return

and one more chance.

To hold you close

to kiss your sweet face.

To hold you close

in this sacred space."

From "My Girl And Me"

"Snuggled up,

my girl and me,

every night,

her place to be.

Feeling her by me

touching my side,

my girl and me

along for the ride.

Returning each evening

to nestle with me,

no place on earth

she would rather be."

Eighty-two pages with graphics throughout in Victorian style, with an eye-catching gloss cover.
