Little Saviour

For my puppy, Elphaba (aka, Elphie, Elf) xxx

 

Sweet little saviour, you’ve answered my call,

You pull me back up when I stumble and fall,

I needed some guidance; you’ve given me hope,

You’ve eased up this aching and now I can cope

 

Oh little darling, you’ve softened the blow,

I cherish your love, that bark that I know,

The way that your tail, waggles with glee,

And how you have eyes for no one but me

 

I simply adore, how you pine when I’m gone,

And you wait, so impatient, no matter how long,

How you live like my shadow and lie at my feet,

And that look that you give me, is so darn well sweet

 

My little puppy, you may not be my Fleur,

And things may not seem, as they once were,

But you have your spirit; your own little self

Sometimes I don’t show it, but I love you Elf!

Author's Note

If anyone is confused, Fleur was the name of my old dog whom I miss very much. xxx
