Sidekick

This is my companion
 to the left of me.
 Everlong by my side
 in lifes travail
 and heart to heart
 in worlds apart.
 This is my guardian 
and my servant dearest 
whatever his size.
 This is my watcher
 by the windowpane
 foretelling the visitors 
and mocking the postman 
in his luminesce apparel.
 This is my nights last seen face 
and my mornings first pace. 
This is my companion, 
my dog.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
