Ladybug

You are way more than a pet
Ladybug you are my friend
You’re always more than willing
To offer your ear to lend
Just a little Chihuahua
Though you’re a bulldog inside
You are forever willing
Come on bug let’s take a ride
As I write out my poems
You must jump up on my lap
All though after awhile
You simply curl up and nap
Ladybug I sure love you
While on treatment for hep c 
Toni thought I might need you
To give me some company
Bug you gave us your heart
You gave us your loyalty
That’s why you are now a part
A part of our family


Every other line rhyme's and each
line has a syllable count of 7.
Written for the "Pets" contest.

This is great Michael! A perfectly penned dedication to your "LadyBug". I love her name. They really do become part of our family. I have 3 black labs and we refer to them as our furry kids. They love you and they don't pass judgment or criticize. Good luck! Love, Robin

Aww Michael, our pets are just the greatest. This is such a sweet and beautiful tribute. I am just getting over a stomach bug, and my dog literally spent the whole day yesterday in bed with me, cause I could barely move - but he didn't even want to leave me to go eat! Truly the most loving and loyal creatures ever. Good luck dear Michael. Another chance for another wish for everything beautiful in the new year for you and family. Love always, Shar
