My New Dog

You came into my life,
Like freshness from
A beautiful flower, the
Relation between us was
Like, the first rain of monsoon,
Soft but harsh.

We can let go of each other,
And live a life of full of spark.
I can't promise
If the future will be bright,
But it will be better than our broken hearts.

A Dog's Last Will & Testament

Before humans die, they write their last will and testament,
Give their home and all they have to those they leave behind.

If, with my paws, I could do the same, this is what I'd ask...

To a poor and lonely stray I'd give my happy home;
My bowl and cozy bed, soft pillow and all my toys;
The lap, which I loved so much;
The hand that stroked my fun;
And the sweet voice that spoke my name.

I'd will to the sad, scared shelter dog the place
I had in my human's loving heart,
Of which there seemed no bounds.

So, when I die, please do not say,
"I will never have a pet again,
For the loss and pain is more than I can stand."

Instead, go find an unloved dog,
One whose life has held no joy or hope,
And give my place to him.

This is the only thing I can give...

The love I left behind.
