Inspired by our beautiful Retriever, Belle, who needed wheels from the age of 7 but lived on fully for another 5 years.

Two silver wheels to make her life go on
To lift her wasted legs and let her be again
Two silver wheels to make her live again
Out in the street, the wet grass and the sea
So young to lose everything she had
Cut off so cruelly from her every part
We were quick to decide it was no way
No matter the cost she was not let go
Two silver wheels to make her life go on
To lift her wasted legs and let her be again
Two silver wheels to make her live again
Out in the street, the wet grass and the sea
For days we waited for the smallest signs
For little signs of life moving in silent limbs
Never coming so we looked for another way
Two silver wheels were brought to lift her
Two silver wheels to make her life go on
To lift her wasted legs and let her be again
Two silver wheels to make her live again
Out in the street, the wet grass and the sea
Like the sun breaking through dark clouds
She took to them straightaway with glee
Charging fast here there and everywhere
Out of house and garden never looking back
Two silver wheels to make her life go on
To lift her wasted legs and let her be again
Two silver wheels to make her live again
Out in the street, the wet grass and the sea
Five more years, she lived it all fully
Happy, not caring what was behind her
She charmed the world with her ways
A lesson in never bothering to look back
Two silver wheels to make her life go on
To lift her wasted legs and let her be again
Two silver wheels to make her live again
Out in the street, the wet grass and the sea
Two silver wheels to make her life go on
To lift her wasted legs and let her be again
Two silver wheels to make her live again
Out in the street, the wet grass and the sea
I know, the wheels were black – creative licence?
