One man and his dog.

13 Replies

My terrier is a one man dog, and I'm a one dog man.

We live our lives together, as happily as we can.

Her legs are short and so are mine, but I'm by far much taller.

But the age gap which at first was long is getting ever smaller.

One year of mine's worth seven of her's, at least that's what I'm told.

So with a little reckoning, together we'll get old.

She remembers my wife and son, sadly now long gone,

Her tail wags when she sniffs at things which have their scent upon.

I hope we still have many years to go, but when our time is done,

I'd like to stay together and pass away as one.

It's nice to see a man who really loves his canine friend.

Who's loyalty and love for him will surely never end.

For I believe when Gods call comes,although you have to part.

The love you shared together is forever in your heart.

For I believe there is a heaven where all good doggies wait.

And together you'll go hand in paw through heaven's golden gate.

Not for a good while though hopefully.😉

Beautiful. I just love your poetry. They brighten my day. I would love to have a dog, but the Consultant has said I must not have any pets. My partner had to give up his dogs for me. It is a shame, because a dog would do wonders for his depression. Helping at the local animal charity would help, but they have more than enough volunteers.
