A poem describing my best friend when I was a child which was a beagle called Lassie.

Her eyes so warm

her coat so shiny

a wagging tail

a smell so milky.

How I loved you

from the start

I held you to me

and a great friendship

was born.

You snuggled under my chin

on my happy happy face

so wondrous

the moment

so light my whole pace.

You grew with me

our adventures

so awesome

through the woods

over fields

on the beach

with an ice cream each.

when I was happy

you wagged that ever moving tail

When I was sad

you snuggled and licked away

those tears.

As my life has moved on

many a decade by now

I have few friends

but that heart-tugging

first prize

always goes to you

Lassie

My friend for life.

    It’s really sad when a childhood friend like your dog passes away. You look through the years and realize how short life is, and how much more you wish to live it all over again. Tomorrow is my dogs birthday, and it seems just yesterday I bought him.
