Goldilocks
She's been gone for 16 years now
but her memory lingers on.
It seems like only yesterday,
I still can't believe she's gone!
From the first day that I met her,
there was never any doubt.
She's the one who taught me,
what love was all about.
Whenever I came home from work,
she met me at the door!
She was always glad to see me,
we had such great rapport.
In the evening while I watched TV,
she would snuggle in real tight.
Then when bedtime rolled around,
she would sleep with me all night.
We loved each others company
it coud not be denied.
For 14 years, my faithfull friend,
was right there by my side.
Her breed was, Boston Bulldog,
but she was gentle as could be.
Her coat was mostly brown and white,
but was a true-blue friend to me!
I've had happy times throughout my life,
of that, there is no doubt!
But "Goldilocks", my canine friend,
showed what love was all about!
