Friends

I have seen him many times before A golden smile with porcelain teeth A face that lit the room like a rock star on tour Decisively striking in his stature so sleek An athlete by his nature and physique A guardian of life, he was so very unique He was awarded for bravery for saving lives His face recorded on local news shows With a personality that beamed its way to mars He gifted you with silent platitude like shooting stars Everyone that knew him loved him And those that did not, loved him on first sight His expression pervaded like a beacon of light "Make way for the Red Carpet!" In the streets or into each home So lovingly adorned in every heart kept him from ever being alone I'll never forget what his name was He did not live very long He will forever be my "Buddy" From the tales we remember in our life song I can still see him running as fast as he can Tail wagging all the way home September 20, 2019
