Love Poem: I Like Your Dog

I Like Your Dog

I Like Your Dog
I like your dog, the one that you got. I like him because he is here and I’m not. I like that whenever you give him a bone. You’ve someone to share with; not eating alone. I like that you call him a nickname of mine. I like that he answers it every time. I like that he’s with you whenever you weep, And snuggles up close as you drift off to sleep. I like that he cares for you, just as I would. I like that he’s constantly faithful and good. I like that he’s dopey and generates laughter His silliness making you chuckle long after. I like that your dog’s a reminder of us. I’d like to be present when you give him a fuss. I like that he’s at your side every day, So though I can’t be there, I know you’re okay.
