Notes About The Poem

Farewell

I feel sad at the death of my dog,
a loyal companion, and my friend.
Our backyard was a gathering place;
where we'd roughhouse and play without end.

We shared many happy memories,
like long walks in the park every night.
And it's with a heavy, hurting heart
that I say goodbye; he lost this fight.

I will miss the camaraderie
that allowed our hearts free range to roam.
And the instant smile he imparted
when he'd jump with joy when I got home.

Preoccupied with living my life;
I'd sometimes forget to pat his head.
And he got less love than he deserved,
sleeping curled at the foot of my bed.

Willy, it’s time for you to rest now;
I hope we will meet again someday.
But today, I must bid you farewell;
come, visit me in my dreams, my friend.
