The Eternal Dog

A dog is love.
Love is a dog.

You always love me.
Of course, I love you, too.

You run fast.
Sometimes I miss you.

But you always come back to me.
I was so happy to see you!

Recently, though, you haven't been able to run fast.
I walk with you slowly.

You stare at me.
I stare at you, too.

You want to run fast.
I like walking slowly with you.

Don't worry about that.
I will always love you.

Last month, you passed away.
I walked alone without you.

Don't worry about that.
You're always with me in my mind.
