Written for a friend,
A furry friend
who stays by my side
a loyalty to lend

He's always so faithful,
there till the end
I can't be without you,
my little friend.

Remembering your youth -
a tiny thing,
big brown eyes
How I hate to think
that pain is disguised

For you can never tell
me how you feel
whether it hurts
whether you're hungry, or tired

all I know is the emotion
in your tail
that flies when you're happy,
droops down when you're frail

But all I can do is write this
short poem
and say I love you, darling
my little furry friend.
