Nicky

I remember when YOU were little On the newspaper YOU did piddle Puppy, Nicky-Nic could do it all He would fetch a stick or catch a ball I remember with a voice command You would roll over, speak, sit or stand YOU were by my side at work or play My faithful companion, night and day Swimming in the cool, clear mountain lakes Romping through the snow, catching snowflakes Springtime garden, Nick would till the ground Jumping in the leave's multi-hued mound My companion for eleven years For my best friend, I shed many tears Good-by Nicky-Nic Until again we meet When I find solace, YOU laying at my feet Dedicated To my Puppy " NICKY-NIC " Author’s note : This is formatted from the Original POEM NICKY-NIC For Danielle White’s Animal Companion Contest
