Bobby was a dog .

A poem i wrote about my childhood friend 'Bobby' . He was always with us and even came to school to meet us :-)

Bobby was a dog,

short and wispy golden brown,

muddy fur,

he went everywhere,

we went,

we went everywhere,

he went.

 

Bobby was a dog,

he'd wait all day,

until we were free,

from schools,

and rules ,

and grown up fools ,

to swim in waters ,

clear and free .

 

Bobby was a dog ,

a loyal friend ,

taught me a love ,

i'll always defend ,

we had nothing together ,

save cuts and laughs ,

fears and tears .

 

Bobby was a dog ,

everyone knew ,

if he was there ,

we were too .

Bobby was a dog ,

my friend you see ,

we buried him together ,

my brother and me .

This one really captures the affection that builds between pets and their owners. They can be so loyal and affectionate they become family members. The first three verses show this bond very clearly. Then the fourth verse show the inevitable end of such relationships. The two brothers bury their beloved friend, no doubt with great grief, I can identify; I've had to have three cats put down over the years.
