PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I got you when I was
Eight
From the moment you
Crawled into my shirt
I knew in my heart
You were
The dog for me
All the way home you
Cried in your crate
All I wanted to do
Was comfort you
I sang to you
You were
So little then
I watched you grow up
I watched you grow into your
Nose
I watched you pee
In mommy’s shoes
I watched you play
With your toys
I watched you get a
Soccer ball stuck in your
Teeth
You have bitten
And scratched
Me
But you also were
Like a little brother
I always wanted
I remember when you
Got loose and me and the
Soccer team had to chase
You and give you to mom
When you got older
You were mushier
You wanted to be hugged and kissed
All the time
You slept on my bed
When I wasn’t home
When I came back my
Pillow was drooled on
You left me toys
We played hide and
Seek
I would always take pictures of
You
In the woods,
In the backyard,
On my bed,
On mom’s bed
As I and you age
Together
I know we have
Had really good
Times together
I know you won’t live forever
But in my heart you will
You are my first true dog
The number one
Dog in my heart
May god always watch
Over you when you reach
Heaven’s gates.
