Oh, how I miss my Candy,
A dog of well-known breed,
Who always was beside me?
And sensed my every need…
He’d comfort with a nuzzle,
Sit closely by my side,
If I were feeling cheery
Or in great despair …
A scratch would do him nicely,
When his needs came to fore,
A tender kiss upon his head,
He rarely asked for more…
I miss his gentle presence,
The howl he sung with glee,
The friend who found no failure
Or faults in me could see…
Candy left a paw – print
Upon my breaking heart.
For we had bonded fully
And hoped to never part.
