Good Overcoming Dog : G O D

I
It's a good day to die
If cancer got you back
Three days ago, I shared bread
With Smiley, a friend's dog
I reminded the youth to water him
Two days in a row, they complied
By this morning, 5 April, Smiley left
Us a legacy of love, loyalty, endurance

II
Many people have played with 
D O G and G O D ( in letter? Poor Spirit?)
I had a mongrel in my teens, RAMU:
He proved to be a prince and a joy
I remember as I say GODSPEED Smiley

Anil, I'm sorry you lost your dog. Those little guys love us unconditionally. It's like losing a family member. Prayers and hugs my friend... Debra
