My Best Friend (Poem)

My best friend,

You may be ‘just a dog’ to some,
But not to me, for you have come,
To be my friend, my rock, my aid
You are my angel, I’m not afraid.

You may be ‘just a dog’ to them,
To me you’re a jewel, a precious gem
They think you’re unhygienic, dangerous
I think you’re incredibly generous.

To give all your heart, and all your soul,
To trust in me and make my life whole
At least for some time anyway,
That you’ll never leave me is what I pray.

You may be ‘just a dog’ to some,
But that dreaded day too soon does come
I ask you’ll wait at Rainbow Bridge for me
So together in heaven we can be.

Awwwww that is really lovely i am going to keep that did you write that yourself.

Yeah I did, lol I was bored for five minutes... could be better but I didn't have too much time to spend on it!

Hi Lottie that was really beautiful and touching you are talented. Thank you so much for writing this poem and more especially for sharing it with us. You have put into words just how I know I feel about my dogs . So thanks once again.

Aw thanks Lovezois I'm glad you liked it!

I think it is very good my mum used to be good at writeing poems wish i could if you think of anymore would love to read them this one brings a tear to me eyes cos it is so very true how we feel about our babys,

Chelsea I've posted a couple before... will try to find them

Here's another one I did! I'd forgotten all about it!

Do you remember when I had youth?
The time I lost that baby tooth?
I remember you put it in a wooden box
And labelled it 'First Tooth of Fox'
Why did my first collar go in?
And yet that ham went in the bin??

Do you remember that first time
That I understood I'd committed a crime
You picked up the bread, the meat and cheese
And told me that you were not pleased
I realised then, that I was in trouble
And you bent down to give me a cuddle
I licked your face to apologise
And you looked into my big brown eyes.
You laughed, I smiled
And we were reconciled.

Do you remember I would jump and bounce
And all my energy, every ounce
Was used to run and play and bark
You'd tell me that I must not lark
And I'd laugh and continue my unruly aim
And make your pursuit into a game.

Do you remember when I fetched that ball?
You yelled 'Good boy!!' and stood up tall
Then we rolled around in the grass together
And you said that we'd be friends forever.

Don't forget the promise you made
I may be old now and you're afraid
That one day I won't be around
But you bring me joy as I lose my bound
Sit with me and try to see
What a dog perceives the world to be

I want to be with you to the very end
My special person, my forever friend.

And when I'm gone remember this
I'm in your heart living eternal bliss.
