Best Lovedog Poems
A little dog so scared with her tucked tail
Came to my front porch one day.
She was ragged and torn, but sharp as a nail,
And when I looked at her I could see
what a price she did pay.
What kind of abuse this poor little creature had endured.
I could never imagine and it would never happen again
I assured.
We fed her and bathed her and gave her a home.
And not once in all those years did this little dog roam.
When she first came whe would cower and hide.
If a broome or rake handle of any kind
she did abide.
We finally gained her trust as the days moved on,
And she wasn't afraid anymore of being abused and alone.
The years flew by and she grew dim in her eye,
She couldn't see very well, especially at night.
She could only fiind her way by seeing the porch light.
She got confused one night when she saw a car light.
And followed it into the road.
Now my baby Michelle is at rest in the woods
but not her final abode.
For I believe you see,
She's waiting for me.
Kittens, birds, rabbits, ferrets and an occasional frog
All were quite welcome and had their part
But nothing takes the place of a dog
Since I was little I never went long
Without having a dog in my home
For no matter whatever you could say of the rest
With a dog you will never go wrong
A German Shepherd named Rocky
Was a favorite pet of mine
I owned him during a grievous time
But this dog seemed always to know
His eyes would gaze so deep in my soul
And his head on my knee made me whole
Never in all my life had I lived alone
And sometimes there would be fear
But I was always reassured to know
I was safe whenever Rocky was near
My youngest would lay on his belly
And they’d fall asleep in the sun
I knew the first time he laid eyes on this dog
A new love affair had begun
What can you say when a dog
Still has so much of your heart
It matters not he’s been gone for so long
My love for him will never depart
Travel with Bambi
Once I rescued a young dog it was in a bad shape I decided to
keep it for a week then take it down to the dog rescue centre.
After a week, after my slippers had been eaten, I did just that;
explained the situation, travel a lot cannot keep a dog, I left.
Home I worried if her new owners would treat her well, not tie
her up in a back yard and feed her miserly scraps of bad food.
A still voice said: “what nonsense you, haven’t gone anywhere
for the last five years.” I did try to defend myself, “I might go on
holiday…what then?”I drove back to the shelter, in utter panic,
what if someone had picked up my dog? She was still there, and
for the next fifteen years we went on holiday together.
