Welcome

Welcome Dear doggy friend Where are you now? It's been a while I miss you, how So loyal and cheery All the time You'd never moan Or whinge or whine (well maybe a little) That tail of yours Would always send A signal, so every heart Would mend You loved your food Your walks and scratches Your presence such No human matches I miss that chin Upon my lap Attentive to my Human lack I miss that crazy Mad half hour To save our faces Turning sour I miss you barking At the waves I miss that welcome Every human craves I miss the fetching And the fun I miss those moments Every one So when my time On Earth is done And heaven calls This wayward son As gates swing wide Your face, a bone; There's none I'd rather have To welcome home Jinjagoliath 27th May 2023
