Monroe the Hero
Monroe's brown eyes
never left the swings
as high as the kids went
as high as they swang
He swam and dove
like a duck, like a boy
his brown fur glistening as he shook in the sun
grinning
slopping
he ate peanut butter sandwhiches
watched 1000 movies
sat with sick children
even played Barbies
oh he was a saint
just some love
and dog food
and clean water
sometimes a cookie
put me in the car
take me on vacation
sit me on the porch
I'm yours forever.
* dedicated to all of us in dog love, and to a family hero
