"It's only a
dog" is what everyone said
As sobbing beside him I
stroked his still head
Only a dog with his own
special charm
The kittens around him
had no fear of harm
He was only a dog that
would lie at my feet
Went to bed with the
children guarding their sleep
And shook hands with all
that he happened to meet
He came at a whistle his
tail waving high
No emotion but love ever
clouded his eye
Only a dog that was easy
to see
He wasn't a purebred had
no pedigree
But still he was special
if only to me
I buried him out by a
tree near the wood
Regained my composure as
best that I could
And without even
thinking once I reached the gate
I turned and I whistled
then caught my mistake
My whistle unanswered no
welcoming bark
The silence was roaring
and tore me apart
"Only a dog"
He was only my heart
