Rest In Peace Wonderful

Rest In Peace Wonderful

A Poem by devooe

Rest in Peace to my wonderful beloved dog, Toby. He passed away about a month ago. (April 17th) Everything I write it 100% true. Sorry for the weird rhyme scheme it's a bit free-style.

"
Toby
Just a year old, I came home to my best friend
He's the same age. We have the same hair color
Were so alike! I love him!!!
We play dolls, barbies, he barks and protects

Were 4 and 5 and I'm in kindergarten
I look out my window during school
Tobys outside the classroom window! Barking for me to come home
He followed my to school everyday and waited outside my window right near my cubby

5 years later were both 6 now. 
He's off on his own adventure through the woods of our home
He's been chasing deer and cars all life
He's shot. He's been shot. My Toby has been shot right through the heart

Shot directly through the heart with an arrow by a deer hunter
Toby, my best friend walks home with a bleeding heart
I see him bleeding as he struggles up the porch steps
Dad opens the door and runs to help him

He's layed out on the rug in front of my door. Crying.
Blood is gushing I cry from the top of the steps
Watching him below like his angel above.
Mom calls the cops. The vet. Everyone

Toby's whimpering and dads getting ready to say goodbye
I cry with my sister and brother because were scared
Cops come. Vets here
Hes shooter isn't found. Its been 3 days they can't find him

Toby is alive. He didn't die. You can't break a heart like his
You can't take my best friend like that. But nice try.
I love Toby. I aid him while he's still injured
He's still smiling and never stopped.

Were 10 now. Im worried he might leave me soon
He's got medical problems and won't stop limping but I know he's strong
Grey hairs are growing but he's still my best friend
We always go on walks through town. He's got a new girlfriend in town!

Hes girlfriend is obedient too! She uses crosswalks correctly and she's a Shepard
Tobys so happy. They go for walks themselves on the beach
I learn to share my best friend with his girlfriend
He loves her and it makes my happy

13 years old, we are
Hes girlfriend is dead and Toby isn't looking so good
Im bullied at school and feeling depressed. I come home and sob with my arms around his neck
Toby looks upset that I'm crying so i stop

Toby is looking sick. He's blind now but still smiles
I smile back even though he can't see it
Ive got a feeling we will be best friends forever and ever
I don't like to think of life without my best friend because after all, he's all I've ever learned to love

14 years old, both of us the same age but he's not looking great
Mom talks about saying goodbye but i don't believe it
Toby loved walks remember? He can't make it down the steps anymore without falling
Hes scars are looking old and he's starting to get smelly!

Still 14
The day has come to say goodbye
This is hard to hard i think he knows its coming
Were so silent. I hug him and loved him and flashbacks begin

Knocks on the door. The vet is here to put him to forever sleep
I run to my room i can't watch my best friend leave it hurts
I here a yelp and with that, he's dead. My best friend is dead
Feels like I've been shot this time

He was ment to be on earth
Born to live, to survive
Shot down but still survived
My best friend is never gone from my heart

Rest in Peace Toby I think about you everyday
Your buried in the yard
Your never actually gone
I can still talk to you when I'm down because you right at home

But you can't hear me. 
Nothing ever held you back
