Through sparkles in his amber eye,
And the silky, brown fur of his coat,
Reveals memories of the past,
Full of joy, full of pain
Concealed within his short, stubby tail
And sock-like paws,
Is an abundance of courage,
Courage to persevere.
He is always there,
By my side.
Although he is made of fluff,
He is as tough as a tiger
But as kind as a kitten.
He is my friend,
My buddy.
Always there,
By my side.
