Nicky-Nic

I remember when YOU were little the fun we had at play
At Dinner time YOU would quietly sit as I began to PRAY

I remember walking through the woods with YOU by my side
When it was time to head on home YOUR nose would be my guide

I remember all our Summers, Winter, Spring, and Autumn's FALL
Swimming in the Mountain Lakes, romping in the snow, watching Flowers grow
The changing colors of the leaves all these things I recall

For eleven years YOU were my companion my very, very best FRIEND
I remember how YOU wagged YOUR tail, licked my face LOVED me until the end

Dedicated to my Puppy " NICKY-NIC “

Nice tribute HG, I like reading and writing tribute poems. On one distant day, the next generations will read today's tributes and know that our muse's were special. Well all of mine are, I put them on high in my life. Thanks for your comments and Happy Holidays...Raul

My friend with the coolest name ever how are you HGarvey - Great poem my friend that shows not only your love of "Nicky-Nic" but also the companionship that you shared - It's sad that we out live our pets but I reckon its better that way for dogs are much more loyal than humans - Merry Christmas my friend & God Bless you and those you love, MJ
