Four Legged Friend

Your precious little friend has gone.
This sorrow I've known oft times!
The depth of love is not defined
until that hour of separation chimes.

They are there to lick your hands
And always catch your tears.
And all they every ask for is
for you to scratch their ears.

A dog brings out what's best in man.
They greet with a happy, wagging tail.
and no matter what you do or don't!
Their loyalty prevails.

And, that they are not
our whole lives,
They can make your lives
feel complete!
I know the memory of this
exceptional friend,
for you will remain

forever sweet.
