My Dog Luca

He's a loyal friend, Faithful 'til the end. He listens with patience To my lively cadence. By the wag of his tail, I know joy shall prevail. My loving, adoring pet, My greatest of friendships yet. There's nothing so fine As this dog of mine. A gift from above, He gives of his love. He's devoted and true, He asks very little too. He never complains, Unless he's in pain. He's a comic at times And I laugh 'til I cry. He is ready to play Anytime, night or day. I throw him his toy And he jumps for joy. Then seems to say, "Let's go, Give it another throw." He's a sly little fox, Houdini out the box. I've yet to learn his tricks, For he's crafty and quick. But he always comes home, From wherever he's roamed. So I say a prayer and Hallelujah, He's safely home, my beautiful Luca. TLH © 11-18-2011
