For The Love Of A Dog

I remember all your faces

Expressions

Barks

Annie Oakley you danced with your food bowl in you mouth

Rembrandt you growled like Chewbacca when we played

Woodrow Wilson the 3rd you cocked your head to one side and grinned

Tippy you died in my arms when I was ten

Bootsie loyal and true

My first dog

Each one of you brought me

Joy

Love

Each one of you

A huge part of my soul

I love you all

On that day at the Rainbow Bridge

I will be running to you

As fast as you are running to

Me.
