To My Puppy

Puppy laying Head on knee, I will take Good care of thee. Laying there Soft and warm, Always loving Since you were born. When I had to go Away to war, I could tell You knew the score. When I fight You're on my mind, Wishing you'd be here All the time. You were first, At the door, When notice came, I died at war. Puppy laying On my grave, I died for your Freedom to save.

Congrats on your placement in my contest Robert. I really liked the devotion of the dog you used here. Well written. As a dog owner and veteran that picture got to me.
