His sudden death shocked my very self up to now,
The pain of losing the one that matters me most
is tearing me apart;
My dog knew very well that I love him so much,
But he failed to realize my life is incredibly empty
without him at my side.
When they walked away, so chicken-livered
in defense of me,
My pet came along unafraid to stand by me;
He was always there, ever protective
day in and day out,
H e was my safety net, my best friend, my baby.
When he died in April 1998, my world slipped away,
I am still in tears and very traumatized;
How can I ever forget the one
that brought my feet back on the ground,
The pet companion who felt all my pain in his heart?
