Dog Walking

Listen to poem:

Man's bestie Not a poodle or Westie He looks like a wolf Not in sheep's clothing No danger Only love Faithful presence Honest happiness I can call his name And in he comes Boundless Longing to be known Happy to have grown Up with me He rests and dreams So do I We dream together We walk I talk Whatever the weather He teaches me something Every day About faithfulness Simplicity Honesty Love Even when we have to say Goodbye His memory Will be etched Onto the tombstone Of my life

We also share a love of Dogs Sam. Beautifully written I will give this poem a favorite, which means I place it on a favorite list.

I guess only dog lovers would understand the sentiment:)

If only humans could 'be more dog' SV. Thank you kindly. I think I would favourite this too, because my dog is and was always a source of unbridled joy and this came from the heart :)
