I guess it's Been four years now She turned up here homeless She was old Even then Those used teats The grey on her jowl Lonely. So loving. She's followed me Like my shadow Ever since And don't believe A dog can't smile In my absences She'll sit by the door Until I come back I'm 60 now. Just had a birthday. And this black Labrador Beauty gave me the honor Of crawling up next To me as I went to sleep She rarely has done before. And it made me wonder How I want to die before her I don't think I could stand Losing her But thought Of what would happen To her If I went before And this isn't poetry It's a love story About two lonely orphans Who found someone Who loves them more Than life itself And how Much love Can mean
