A Tribute to a Friend:
A Dog That I Once Knew
by Jennifer Federico

Wandering alone,
I found you.
Your intimidating size
cautioned my steps,
but you were gentle;
I brought you to the shelter.
In a cage,
you were so angry;
barking at me,
but your eyes were so sad.
You had a story to tell;
I began to listen.
A biscuit is all it took
for you to give me your trust.
My heart had faith in you,
but with your sort,
my trust in you required time;
time that wouldn’t be there.
Through the wired wall,
we formed a bond.
Leaning against the metal,
you would try to get close to me,
so my fingers could rub your ears.
In a cage,
you were so ill;
staring at me,
and your eyes were so sad.
Forgetting about the barrier,
I reached in and gave you my consoling touch,
for what would be the first and only time.
I am Sorry that I couldn’t save you.
Sorry that I never got to hug you.
Sorry that I wasn’t there when you left this world.
Forgive me friend,
for I know better now;
to listen to my heart
is the lesson learned,
and so your story I will tell;
To Bruiser, a dog I once knew. |
