Ode to your four legged friend.

poem by: Christopher Russon
Written on Feb 15, 2018

Never forget your four legged friend
Those days you thought would never end
He followed you wherever you went
Happy times those years you spent.

When he was young crafty at times
Often a shoe was hard to find
Looking under tables chaires
No shoe to be found anywhere.

His puppydays they faded away
He settled down then he would obey
Then it clicked when he saw the need
To follow you without a lead.

There were times when you were feeling down
He would always see your saddened frown
He then would sit down by your side
And look at you with glaring eyes.

And then there were those holidays
That Sandy beach were you all played
You threw him a ball or maybe a stick
And showed him all those amazing tricks.

Just look back at those years you had
Some were happy some were sad
They were times you will never regret
A loving friend you will never forget.

But years they come and years they go
Spring summer autumn and winter snow
But now your filled with memories 
That time had come for your friend to leave.

Aww, I miss all my past pooches too. You say you'll never get another because the heartbreak is too much but you will, and you will love it just as much as the first :)
