Sam Scott Poet Free verse

Listen to poem:

Dog Walking

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

Speaks Volumes September 7, 2023 at 3:31 AM 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. Sam Scott December 1, 2023 at 9:46 PM I guess only dog lovers would understand the sentiment:) Sam Scott September 7, 2023 at 7:12 AM 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 :)
