My Friend

Acknowledgment to one I love and trust.

My Friend

 

Fear not that I could leave you all alone
to grope and stumble in the cold of night.
Your hopes and dreams are all to me unknown
except to know I trust your faith and sight.

But if you tire somewhere upon your climb.
I'll bear you up and share in your distress.
Then we'll continue past the bounds of time.
Your mission to delight has met success.

You helped me through my problems when they rose.
With all the love you brought, you made me smile.
and you have nurtured all that's best of those,
while sharing wondrous light with me awhile.

Though we see different visions through life's fog,

you are my friend, not just another dog

Hello, Norbanus ! :)
This is a lovely sonnet for your strange looking dog. I had a dog. She died. We had a good time.

A friend is the world's hidden treasure
This is a lovely tribute to that

I loved every line

That you for reading and commenting on my little verse, Solo.

I noticed the picture but didn't make the connection until the end. I like the 10 syllable line-up.

A dog is the best companion a man/woman can have. This is a great tribute to him.
