Friday Fictioneers – January 10, 2014 – Born the Same Day (The Conclusion)

Last week when I wrote a poem about the friendship between a girl and her dog, I received so many wonderful comments and some of them suggested I continue the poem.  If you wish to read the first part, click here.

Life changes, first a spouse

Folks retire, sell you their house

Climb our tree and sit on a bough

Next comes babies, their turn now

 

Summertime, run and explore

Growing family and me at the shore

Beach fun, waves throw us back

Kids hide, found in the shack

 

Years later, I no longer climb

You and I friends for all time

Now the grandkids fill your life

Spouse in heaven, no longer a wife

 

My pet, my friend, my support

The years have gone, time is short

Lifelong companion gone from me

I honor you, a plaque on your tree
