"Arf! Arf!"
I can see him from afar
And oh - is that a ****?
Yesterday he got hit by a car
It left him a big scar
As the years passed by
We noticed something different
It makes me want to cry
As the cancer cells destroyed his ligament
I didn't know he was sick
Until he was thin as stick
And my worst nightmare came
He's not the same, he became lame
Then he became blind
We traveled just to find
The medicines that he needed
But it was too late
His little sight and sound of us slowly faded
I guess it was the hurtful fate
He was not given to last forever
He was given for us to share memories together
For a short period of time
The sound "Arf Arf" became the best rhyme
His death anniversary is near.. I made this poem to show my love for my late dog, Bishop. He showed me the true meaning of love and loyalty. He went through a lot of challenges: he got hit by a car, he was lost and abandoned until my uncle found him, and he suffered a lot of disease. It was the hardest thing to do, letting my first love go.
