A Cord Umbilical
The sweetest pup ~ a darling dog
A lovely friend brought home
So cuddly
So sweet
So pleased was I to meet
Since childhood and for all my life
I had a dog most of the time
Then when my last sweet boy passed on
Our tears we shed for he had gone
And now that I am all alone
Just me left here inside our home
When Parkinson’s moved in with me
no longer could I contemplate
another dog to share my home
as this degenerative disease
doth not allow for me to live
my life just as I please
Reluctantly I face the fact
resigned in the knowledge
I cannot look back
Sadly I will never again
share my home
with another sweet dog
I feel very sad about that
For me a dog is the perfect companion
with a welcome unsurpassed
A wagging tail
as you walk through the door
You could really ask for nothing more
Their love is so strong
‘tis unconditional
bonded together
by a cord ~ umbilical
And knowing that no longer
I'll never have another dog
to cuddle
to stroke
to hug
to love
as he gently snores
on my fireside rug
So now instead you’ll often find me walking on the prom
Talking to and stroking each and every dog that comes along…
