Notes About The Poem

May be an image of dog

Only picture I can find of him. He was ALWAYS by my side and jumped up into my arms each night when I came home from work.

A Pet Minichu

A Pet Minichu
(original title) Dearest Pet

Long ago - dearest pet -
a miniature cute white Eskimo doggy
I would get.

Great joy unfurled.
A light my doggy came to be -
my world!

Lots of
this he showed me:
Love!

Long ago - dearest pet -
a light my doggy came to be -
Love!
