My Ceramic Dog
By Elliot B
My loyal protector
will be forever treasured forever in my heart
My favourite friend with a treasured soul
It’s like a shining spring sky
It’s worth half my heart
Orange like flaming fire
It has shaped my heart
Like a diamond shield
that protects me from harm
Like a pearl from the deepest depths
of the ocean blue
It holds memories of my childhood
reminds me of my great grandfathers warm and caring heart
when I am weak it gives me strength
