I’ve never known you without Lulu She has been a part of you As much as your humor Your generosity Your kindness Your ability to make things happen. But you are not less for her loss, She filled you with joy She warmed your bed On those cold and lonely nights. She loved you when Nobody else would. One look at her bright eyes And your day was brighter. But you are not less for her loss, Her spirit will reside Upon a soft fluffy bed Somewhere inside you. She will continue to come Whenever you call her. How could she not? That’s what good dogs do. She will be there to snuggle When you need comfort, And wag her tail When you need a laugh. If you listen hard She is barking now She wants a walk Or a treat Or just some affection. Good dog.
