Memories

He was my buddy. Was my friend.
Never did I think I’d see his end.

 

Last day I saw him I took it hard.
This one’s for him, my friend and dog.

 

So young he was when I brought him home.
Held him so tight, singing him a song.

 

Just a babe he was. So little of a pup,
but love he had and oh so much!

 

I watched him grow before my eyes.
I rose from bed each time he cried.

 

We played together as I tossed the ball.
He’d run and retrieve, tail wagging and all.

 

Sometimes he seemed sad as could be.
His face would brighten from seeing me.

 

He’d jump on me thus knocking me over.
Then run around and simply roll over.

 

When he seemed sad, he’d come to dad,
then put his head deep in my lap.

 

He understood me. He knew my fears,
funny how he sensed it by coming near.

 

The jumping ceased. He was getting weak.
Now all he would do is eat and sleep.

 

Not wanting to think soon it’ll be over.
The truth is now he was much older.

 

Now all is left is memories.
Dying before me, he was put to sleep.

 

He was my buddy. He was my friend.
Someday I hope I could see him again.

 

Miss him so much. I still do grieve.
Love him so much. I do indeed.

 

I had him here.
Had him so long.
Still can’t believe he’s dead and gone.

    I know the pain of losing a companion. My poodle died in March from kidney failure. He was 8 years old. RIP.

    • Sorry for your loss, I know the pain too well. I had mine for 14 years, it was his kidneys as well. I had to put him to sleep because he was in pain and lost so much weight.

  2. This hurts man! My dogs been gone for almost 8 years and I still miss him. Wonderful tribute to a handsome fellow!
