Zeus

I lost my dog this past Wednesday, so I've been feeling down. He had a huge impact on me and my family, so I wrote a poem of sorts.

True to your name, you rolled in like loud thunder

At first stealing shoes, and socks as your plunder

And then your stole hearts, and helped to start a family

Two years later, consoling a lost, angry, teen that was me 

You listened to teenaged heartbreak, helped sadness and sickness pass

But simple life was not to last

2 new sisters took you by storm,

Through playing, pulling, and riding you stayed warm

 

You helped us grow, to truly know what love is like, 

A true friend, who led a full life

And though your thunder died away, On our hearts a paw-print will stay

Thank you Zeus… <3
