My Dog
I had my dog
It saved me from darkness
It gave me quietness
When all was lost
When the stars
Disappeared
And the earth turned
Into a ridiculous globe
And God seemed to leave
The heavens
My dog came to me
And whilst crying
With my face buried deep
Within her fur
I suddenly felt better
The stars came
Back to the sky
And all the questions
Were gone
From my head
She looked into my eyes
And saved me
From my eternal battle.
I had a dog
Her forever name
Was Dera
It saved me from darkness
It gave me quietness
When all was lost
When the stars
Disappeared
And the earth turned
Into a ridiculous globe
And God seemed to leave
The heavens
My dog came to me
And whilst crying
With my face buried deep
Within her fur
I suddenly felt better
The stars came
Back to the sky
And all the questions
Were gone
From my head
She looked into my eyes
And saved me
From my eternal battle.
I had a dog
Her forever name
Was Dera

I suddenly felt better The stars came Back to the sky
There was much healing power in Dera's love. It is truly sad to lose such a comforting companion. Long after her smell leaves the collar, your shared love and fond memories will still remain. Thank you for sharing.
thanks for your comment...It was more than10 years ago, but I still feel pain

If only 'mankind' could feel love in the way that that these 'sometimes more than human' God given creatures do.
Thank you for sharing.
