Dear Dog

Dear dog,
The wag of your tail
The tilt of your head
The barks as you call me
Your soft, smooth hair
When I’m sad your always near
Bringing happiness across the atmosphere
Your long and pointy, black, little ears
You’ve been in my life for more than 10 years
I’ve never been lonely with you right here
When you’re by my side I never fear
Your footprints appearing on the sand as you dive across the lands
The sight of you makes me smile
You’re like my sibling or my child
I’m thankful with you by my side
I’ll love you forever until I die
Without you I know my life is done
You will always be my number one
