A Little Memory-Spot

When I was only seven and happy we moved

leaving my very best friend Spot behind

leaving a family member

I cried for many weeks

I missed my best friend Spot more each and everyday

broken and devastated at seven.

 
 

 

Spot waits with holy angels for me in heaven

all day long we loved to run, sing and play

we miss playing ball at the creeks

Spot, I will remember

this move was very cruel, unfair and unkind

why was my very best friend Spot removed.

 

 
 

Even at seven I would have never approved

today-there are days I could lose my mind 

your birthday was in September

loved blusher on your cheeks

a child at seven I thought you would always stay

I stopped crying at the age eleven.
