Alexis Y. Poet Narrative

A Valued Member of the Family

Let me tell you a story….  
 
About a year loving pet named big red,
I still can’t believe he’s dead.

He was such a wonderful dog,
He wasn’t a bump on a log.

He was my protector and friend,
My love for him will never end.

Everyone in the neighborhood,
adored him too, he was good.


I cried when he got hit by a car,
his passing left a gigantic scar.


Dad buried him and in our backyard,
everyone in the family took it hard.

He wasn’t just a pet, he was my brother, 
we had the same father and mother.

I will always cherish him in my heart, 
for he my heart right from the start.

Hello and goodbye Coco. I still cry when I think about her and keep a photo of her on my desk. You will always remember Big Red. Hugs and blessings Jennifer

Valsa George April 16, 2022 at 10:53 PM I can relate to your experience and I deeply feel your sense of loss ! I too went through the same pain ! Your poem is quite touching and is composed in beautiful rhyme. I never thought a dog would become a member of the family ! If time permits, I invite you to read my poem- A Tribute to my Dog !
