Dinky

You see a pup.

You pick him up.

You bring him home.

You give him a bone.

He sleeps in your bed.

He steps on your head.

He wees on your floors.

So you take him outdoors.

You play with him

And buy him toys.

He fills your life

With special joys.

You teach him tricks,

It’s such a kick

To see him beg

And sit on two legs.

You feed him well

And nurture and love him.

You just can’t seem

To get enough of him.

Sometimes when he’s bad

You can’t let it go.

But you don’t get mad,

You just tell him “No”.

This love goes on

For eighteen years

And then it is

The time for tears.

Your pup gets sick.

It’s time to part.

And you are left

With a broken heart.

Where did he go?

Where is my pup?

He had to leave.

His time was up.

I want to go too

Don’t leave me now,

Take me with you.

But I don’t see how.

I suffer now

That he is gone.

My baby waits above.

We’ll meet in Heaven

Later on

Again to share our love.
