I miss my dog

I miss my little faithful friend
who closed his eyes last night
as I wiped away my flowing tears
and held him really tight
 
He was my therapist – my confidant
whom I spoke to very day
And I knew that I could rely on him
in very little way
 
He always listened without judging
and never repeated what I said
and all he asked for in return
was for some food and a bed
 
Today there are no wagging tails
not even a whimper or a bark
Today there are no comforting hugs
or long walks in the park
 
My heart is filled with sadness
Remembering those days
As he sat there looking up at me
with his adoring loving gaze
 
Of all the precious memories
the one that cannot be measured
is how much he was loved by me
and how much he was treasured
