My Wonderful Dog Wylie

My Wonderful Dog Wylie

Everything my dog energetically enjoyed;
Was friendly and no one would be avoided
Regardless of place, how, when or where
Lived life free from desperation and despair.

Would you say that Wylie was willy-nilly?
If you did this might sound so very silly;
After me and my wife drank a night cap
Wylie liked to jump up into my lap.

When young puppy his legs liked leaping;
Dreamed of puppy love when was sleeping;
One day ended up meeting his death knoll
After forgetting location of his food bowl.

For long time Wylie was getting on in years
One day without warning he disappears
And begged from God that he be blessed;
Do doggie sins have to be confessed?

Went to church where I would pray and kneel
But to Wylie dog this would never appeal;
He's now in heaven sitting with much sun 
Where God is taking him for a real nice run.

PS. This is my neighbor's dog who is a 12 year 
old boxer who they are putting to sleep soon.
