A Child's Life

Parents create a child,

With building blocks of lust.

A stray dog creates a child,

Via examples of love and trust. 

A dog becomes the special friend,

Who becomes your confidant….

The one who walks beside you,

Allowing hugs whenever you want.

Dogs display the circle of life,

Your first experience with grief…

Teaching you that memories,
Don’t always provide relief.

Dogs who shared your childhood,

Proved their loyalty at any cost…

Providing you the greatest love;
In the end, the greatest loss.
