Love Poem: I Owned a Dog

I Owned a Dog

I owned a dog, for eleven wonderful years,

I got him as a wee puppy,

He had brown velvet ears,

I really do miss him…oh so much,

He was a pedigree boxer…just not very butch,

I fed him every day and I'd walk him to the park,

And I would do anything, anything just to hear one more bark,

I loved throwing sticks and balls for him to go and get,

He made the world’s problems so easy to forget,

He loved coming for a cuddle by putting his head between my knees,

He loved causing trouble by digging up my neighbours trees

Our bond was special and tight…our bond was true,

We’d keep each other company all day through,

I really really want him back by my side,

As he was my best friend, and that can’t be denied,

I had him since a puppy, where he sat on my knee,

But after eleven years together…he owned me!
