Poem Title:
Poem
First I was a puppy, Young and bright eyed, I opened my eyes, and saw the blue skies. Along with my mother, My brothers and sisters, We watched and saw, The ladies and misters. They came and went, To see us all, I was too interested, In my bright green ball. Then a lady came, With hair so blonde, I ran over to her, And sealed the bond. A few days went by, I waited around, Where was the lady, Where my heart was bound. The door then opened, My eyes opened wide The lady was here, A child by her side. She took me home, She bought me a bed, She bought me toys, She made sure I was fed. The years go on, I go to the sea, My red bandana, A life being free. The memories I’ve made, Over all the years, Are the best I’ve had, Could bring you to tears. I’ve been to the park, I’ve been to the sea, I’ve been in a car, I’ve done the best for me. Time waits for no dog, As you can tell, The years have flown, The eyes start to well. The years passed on, The aches start to appear, My eyes are failing, My time is near. I’m still the same dog, I remember being young, I can’t walk very far, There’s a pain in my lung. I’m an old man now, I’m grumpy and tired, I cough and splutter, Yet I’m still admired. I know for a fact, I’m loved with no doubt, I’ll be loved forever, From my tail to my snout. The love I have, For my human friends, Is unconditional, It will never end. I jump in the car, With my tired little legs, They say we are going, On a trip to the vets. I arrive at the vets, My white wagging tail, My awful cough, My heart about to fail. They say to me, To go to sleep, To close my eyes,The sleep is deep. The pain will go, I’ll feel the best, If I close my eyes, And have a little rest. I start to lie down, Put my head on my paw, I close my eyes, And have a little yawn. I see a light, My time has come, Fairwell my friends, My life’s been fun. I’ll see you again, I’ll wait for you here, my favourite people, I’ll always be near. The best of lives, A dog could have had, I thank you all, Please don’t be sad. I’ll leave my toys, Blankets and bed, I don’t need them now, You can rest your head. I’m safe and sound, A life with no pain, I cannot wait, To see you again. - buster
