Dog

I don't believe I know love

To feel my heart beat aflutter

At the sight of some godly figure to move

Me to the marrow of my bones

Love, sisterly love, I have felt

A loyalty never to be questioned with

And I, would have on scorching flames have knelt

To cradle my precious bundle of fur home

And spit! On the man that would leave me

My companion, you sit there knowing my world

To join in the foolish affairs such as sipping tea

And my friend, only you stay and keep me in good spirits

I am saddened to know that you have but seven years to my one

And when I am older, I do believe

That you will never leave, on short of death, for you are my sun

But, that when you do, a piece of me shall die, and life would be as night
