Best Friend

If I could make my own best friend,

I’d mold her out of clay

She would bring out the best in me,

And lead me not astray

She’d never make petty demands,

Or shame me to contrition;

Her heart would beat in time with mine

And love, without condition

No matter what life had in store

She’d always sympathize

And see me as I truly am,

Without judgmental eyes

She’d celebrate the joys of life

And lift depression’s fog ~

I just realized, I have this friend ~

I’ve just described my dog!  J

he is a beautiful dog...i really like this poem...and while i was reading it i was singing the Jefferson Airplane song.."You're my best friend"--remember it? from the album "surrealistic pillow"?

too bad your pup can't read!

[Rita L. Sev]

:) I do recall that song. Don't worry about Frankie - she (yes, girl dog with a boy's name...) she knows that she is well loved! Thanks, Jacob.
