Mans Best Friend

Mans Best Friend

You can never love
An animal as much as a dog
They fit as a glove
In lifes dialogue

Koa
Bear
Keeper
Sally Sue

Marvelous sidekicks
A family member
Pure or mix
I will remember

Koa on the sailboat
Or protecting you from a snake
A thick coarse coat
His death was a heartbreak

Bear a friendly Carin
My first dog as my own
A lord or baron
I was never alone

Keeper was extraordinary
She was a true friend
Always merry
Until the end

Sally Sue was the best
So gentle and kind
Welcoming me as a guest
Our time together was fine

She sailed
And we walked
Even as our health failed
Our love was locked

A companion for the ages
Accompanying me through life
I could write pages
She was like an oldwife

Persistent as my assistant
So loving and caring
She was so consistent
And reassuring

Life moved on
In a regular routine
A beautiful liaison
She was a queen

I will miss her
And her beauty
Life will be a blur
Without any duty

Walking
Feeding
Swimming
Chasing

A wonderful responsibility
To take care of her
In her final disability
We could not deter

Life ends for us all
Sooner or later
We all fall
To death the dictator

Not giving us a choice
Or remedies
Taking our voice
Leaving just memories
