The Dog I Never Had

I got him when I was born
His floppy body lies by my side
He keeps me from harm day and night
His fur looks like midnight dotted with snow
His floppy body still alive with fun
His nose as velvety as clouds on his gorgeous little head
He’s as cute as a button on a summer’s day
A fist full of floppiness
When I touch him my heart fills with happiness
Doza is the reason I wake up
He brings me back when I am down
I wonder how many different hands have handled you
I wish I could ask you what happened when I drift off
I hope I never lose you
If I did I`d be heartbroken
For you are a friend
Doza…the dog never had
