My Ode to Bobby

My dog just died recently and I wrote this poem about her:

you have been by my side every step of the way

especially if it's in the middle of the day

you listened to me, you made everything funny

you were cute, even cuter than a bunny

and when you think I'm in some kind of trouble

you always came to my rescue, even if it cost you double

We've protected each other throughout the years

you even loved being scratched behind the ears

you loved me and I loved you

and I will still love you even after everything I put you through

I remember when it got dark

you protected me just with your bark

and after Christmas in the middle of the night

you made me feel better when dad started to fight

you were everything to me by and by

and that's why sometimes I'll have to cry

you were the best dog that I could ask for

because you were definitely not a bore

and during the night when you are asleep

you'd make this sound, just a little peep

just so you know even if you sleep all day

you will be in my heart, like fish in a bay

I will love you forever and even more

I will even miss hearing you snore

I'm also gonna miss you hitting the sack

when we were in the water, you barked at us to come back

I will love you forever even if I'm in a lobby

forever and all eternity I'll love you, Bobby
