Just A Dog
Author-Pam Martini
Bonds of love between humans and animals expressed.
Someone who I thought was a friend
Came to visit me today
He asked why I was crying
Like my world had come to an end
I told him that I had just lost
Someone who was truly dear
That had remained by my side
Who used to defend me at any cost
Oh my! Said my former "friend"
I'm sorry, I didn't know
Was it friend or family?
My heart was broken, unable to mend
As I explained that it was both
For my beloved pet had died
But this person who I thought
Would understand, did not
So, this is why you've cried?!
I thought it was terrible
That a person had passed
That someone important had died
But HE WAS JUST A DOG...
He was "just a dog" to you
Perhaps that much is true
But he was my morning sunshine
And loyal through and through
We were, in this life, bound
By invisible bonds of love
Unconditional and real
No greater could be found
He had become a part of me
And others he'd come to know
Who accepted his presence
Like a member of the family
Sometimes I took for granted
His kind and gentle eyes
His huge and loving heart
And the playful way he panted
I thought he'd always be here
And now that he is gone
It's hard for me to go on
Without my best friend near
But HE WAS JUST A DOG...
