Oscar De La Hound Dog - For You

My friend, oh how I miss you Life now, seems so unfulfilled. There was nothing I could do To have you back again healed. Such sadness within my heart So much, you will never know. My chest has been ripped apart Having to let my boy go. Not what I ever wanted Seeing you gone from my life. My soul, forever haunted That decision causing strife. First time I laid eyes on you I could not believe my sight! So big - strong - the perfect hue Eyes full of life - aura bright. Knew, day one, 'twas meant to be The way you hustled over. Plain as any eye could see Not your typical Rover. Home, and you bounded inside Tore through our house exploring. Back, forth, chaos at high tide Life with you -never boring. Kissing, playing, full of fun So sweet you were with our kids. Touched the lives of everyone The reason for their teared lids. Imposed, to Mama, your love's will. Even heard you say her name. Moaning 'bout your every ill While kissing her just the same. Sleeping with us - on her side Taking up half her space. You were King - she MUST abide Now tears they run down her face. Playing with your teddy bear Made us all laugh, with such joy. You'd toss it up in the air - Then catch it! You silly boy! I'd smile at how you'd greet me "Hello, Daddy!" with your howl. To me, was all too funny. Now? my face it holds a scowl. A scowl, 'cause I feel guilty Knowing not what could be done. Unaware of your frailty Please forgive me lovely son. RIP Oscar Nov. 5, 2005 - Nov. 3, 2015
