Poem
My name is Max… I live at home with my mom and my dad, Every day they both remind me, That I’m the best pet they’ve ever had. I scratch on the door to get out, And my name is on my own bowl, And they never have to shout at me, Because I know the meaning of self-control. Every morning I wake up to a stomach rub, A nice bowl of doggie food, And a warm bath in my own little tub. I had it going on, I amazed them both with my dog tricks, But then the worst thing happened to me…. My mom grew very sick. I heard her moaning and groaning, And dad was really sad…. I offered my mom a pillow, And then I ran back to my pad. It hurt me so much, To see my mom that way, To see my dad so out of touch, With no words to say. The doctor came to the house to pick her up, He was crying on the phone…. He jumped in his car to follow her, And left me in the house alone. So I sat there…. By the door, With a look of sadness in my eyes, This was a feeling, I’ve never felt before. It pained me that my mom was sick, I just wanted her to get better, And just as I went to lay down, I discovered this little envelope, Inside of it was a letter. It said, “Never be sad, Always keep your head up. No matter where life takes us, You’ll always be our favorite little pup.” This made me smile, It gave me hope and confidence, So I grabbed the letter with my teeth, And placed it near the fence…. So when the day came, And my mom came back home, She discovered the letter was where I left it, And she then began to roam. “Max? Max! I’m home, my dear. We’re home.” She prepared my doggie pad, Poured food in my bowl, But couldn’t find me, so she screamed, “Have mercy on my soul! Where is my little puppy? Why won’t he come to me? Come out, wherever you are, My dear little Max. Please?” So I ran from behind the couch, And licked my mom and dad’s face, “It’s moments like these,” I thought to myself…. “I will never, ever erase.” Then, I ran to the couch, To stretch out and relax. Oh, in case you forgot…. My name is Max.
