Poem from a Senior Dog
I remember the first time I saw you,
I was coming of the plane
Hoping you would love me,
praying you would care
I wasn't young, had no teeth
survived 7 years in a puppymill,
it's a wonder we meet.
I was nerveus, didn't know what to expect
I hoped you would accept me
I was holding my breath.
You took one look and opened your arms,
I accepted without shame.
Then you grew to love me,
And I admit the same.
I have shared with you your laughter,
You have wet my fur with wine.
We've come to know each other
throughout these years of fun
Just one more cuddle this morning
before you start your working day.
Know I will think about you
Throughout your busy day.
I'll faithfully wait here for you
till your return to me
My heart is yours forever
I promise-- but
Please, never leave me
