Best Friend

If I could make my own best friend,

I’d mold her out of clay

She would bring out the best in me,

And lead me not astray

She’d never make petty demands,

Or shame me to contrition;

Her heart would beat in time with mine

And love, without condition

No matter what life had in store

She’d always sympathize

And see me as I truly am,

Without judgmental eyes

She’d celebrate the joys of life

And lift depression’s fog ~

I just realized, I have this friend ~

I’ve just described my dog!  J

We can learn a lot from our dogs...

Those of us who are dog lovers usderstand this perfectly. I marvel at the loyalty and unconditional devotion a dog has for his human. A quality that can't be matched within our own species. You have once again, brilliantly given poetic word to an every day subject we take for granted.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thanks so much, Damien! It's great to see you again!

This warms my heart. Dogs are our best friends indeed. The dedication, respect and honour they show their owners is truly one of a kind and I can certainly relate to this one Rita.

Great write:)

This is a really nice poem, and dogs are so loyal to there owners, i used have a dog, she use to not like me and then after awhile we became best friends, so this poem reminds of her

Thank you, Rachel! Yes, sometimes it takes time for the relationship to build, but once it does, a dog is the best friend you'll ever have...
