A Sad Man and His Dog

I see him every day with his companion by his side Even if he’d rather stay in the house to hide With his head pointing down toward the ground And a saddened frown Holding the attached leash his connection to his friend And the endless hours together that they spend Your dog always listens no matter what is said He’ll sleep beside you affectionately inside your bed Dogs don’t care if you forgot your deodorant and might smell Or the changeable moods you may expel He’ll gladly stand by your side so proud And yiper ever so long so loud Dogs never make you feel bad for a mistake They’ll kiss you every morning till you wake So who can blame him if he doesn’t care to smile Because when he’s walking his dog inside his heart life becomes worthwhile

"Dogs never make you feel bad for a mistake" Damn girl, (somehow I know you are a girl), I feel this poem. Surely God loves dog lovers. You wrote it right, Kimmy

Dogs are the most loyal, precious creatures. My very close friends just lost their dog of many years, and I cried my eyes out when I heard the news. He was such a part of the family. Yes, your poem is beautiful. A very special bond of love and caring dogs create. No, they don't sweat the little stuff, all they want is to give and receive love. Love, Shar

For some folks...their pets are all they have. Their companion in life, and the reason they get up in the morning. Your poem says it so well. ~ Love, Carrie
