Michael Gelb Poet Couplet

Little Dog

Little Dog

This last Mothers day
My wife’s little dog passed away

Holly was my wife’s little love
Both now are in the heaven above

Holly did not like the cold
Poor Holly only ten years old

I miss my wife so much
I also miss that little dog’s touch
 
I just had to adopt a little dog for me
This little dog named Maggie
