Eulogy
I
remember when I was young
I remember my mother well
So soft & kind
Even her comforting smell
And all my brothers & sisters
As we lay close together
So safe & warm
But then one day
I was taken away
No time to say "good bye"
You took me to your home
Saw a yard
So I thought I could roam
I only wanted to love you
And for your to love me
But as I grew
And felt close to you
Your true colors I could see
You left me in your yard
Never even gave me a name
You forgot to feed me
Sometimes you beat me
And you locked me to a chain
I was hungry & confused
Unwanted & abused
I could only wonder why?
Chained to a rotting post
Watching the World go by
What did I do to make you so angry?
What did I do to make you so cruel?
If you would only tell me
I'd make it up to you
Don't you know
If ever you were lost in a storm
I would find you & lead you home?
If ever you fell into murky waters
I would swiftly pull you to shore
If you were blind
I would forever guide you
If a stranger neared your home
I would challenge him
And if suddenly you were sent to Battle
I would March proudly beside you
And if you died, I would lay at your side
Till the "Angels" called me too
But now it is too late
I'm afraid I can take no more
I am hungry & cold
I feel deathly old
My heart aches to the core
And now, as I wait to die
There is no one to hear my cries
No tears are shed for me
So I ask your GOD
If just one dog
Could have words for a "Eulogy."
