A Vision

I saw a glimmering vision,
It took my breath away
'Twas the silhouette of a Shepherd
More regal than words can say

The beams of light they danced
On a coat of endless black
A vision of perfection
Atop an iron back

He stood there like a statue
For all the world to see
What a vision of perfection
The German Shepherd can be

The look of a noble prince
Lord of all he surveys
Confident in himself
Eyes fixed in aristocratic gaze

Never shall I forget
The vision I saw that day
Of the mighty Shepherd
Who took my breath away
