Best Friend

I remember all the times we spent in the sun,

In the snow, and in the rain.

I remember those days, so full of fun,

How will it ever be the same?

You were a boy, and I was your friend,

Together no matter what.

And then that moment when my life would bend,

And the doors would eventually shut.

I don’t know what it was,

What had taken me away.

What made me leave, what was the cause,

That ended our joyous days?

I remember nothing, not even a bit,

Of why you could not see me.

I was here, but we were split,

You could not hear my plea.

I was there, but you were sad,

I never saw your grin.

Seeing that face made me feel bad,

And I wished this had not been.

I watched as you grew,

Until you turned old and frail.

You never saw me, I felt so blue,

I remained. . .until your body was stale.

Your scent was gone,

And so I’d leave for good.

To the light I was drawn,

But I knew I would see you, I would.

At the golden gates I wait,

Until I see you appear.

I wagged and danced with delight, so great,

And I greeted you with cheer.

Now we spend time together,

Where there’s sun and it’s always warm.

We can now remain forever,

Forever, and even more. . .
