A Friend

I wrote this poem after my family had to put my 8 year old dog down.

A friend who loved everyone,
and always truely cared.
A friend that I could talk to,
and would always be there.

A friend that would help me,
when i was bound to drown.
A friend that would lift me,
right up off the ground.

A friend who I loved so much,
I cried and sobbed and teared.
A friend who meant the world to me,
but is no longer here.

A friend who neated to be treated,
but we didn't have the money.
A friend who had to be put down,
I am so sorry honey.

Scooby, I love you more than anything,
and now I truely know.
That even when life gets rough,
friends can make it so-so.

You taught me how to live,
and that it's okay to cry.
I'm so sorry you had to go,
it wasn't your turn to die.
