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 “
How could I forget?
Who am I not to remember?
As the little boy marched on with a gecko as pet,
Determined to let it go, by mid-September,
He took it away from the ornamental cage,
Covered it with a colorful piece of Chinese satin.
He started climbing up the mountain, covered with sage.
Gecko, to him, has always been a pet so special.
As day time vanished and dusk settled,
Little boy marched on, the journey half conquered,
Never has he felt that his time was wasted,
Gecko was worth all these hours being accumulated.
Once he had reached the enchanted place,
Right there amongst the tulips and lilies,
Under the watchful eyes of space,
With the moon and stars as accessories.
“There you go gecko”! “Here you won’t feel in abandon!”
Little boy glanced at his friend with tears in his eyes.
“I won’t forget you as long as my name is Brandon!”
He hugged his gecko tightly, and whispered farewell under the skies.
…… But the night was falling and Brandon had to leave…
Summer time is terrible,
for dogs with long hair,
it makes them very unbearable,
they get to the point they don't even care.
Dogs with long hair,
suffer more and long,
they sometimes get cross as a bear,
and they can't wait for fall to come on.
They're so quite and still,
so hard is it,
for them to go up a hill,
when bath time comes they don't mind a bit.
