Greet me
Everywhere
With unconditional kisses
And uncontrollable excitement.
My tri-colored angel
With crooked teeth,
Brown, wide-spread eyes,
And a heart as big as the world.
You’ve been
Through it all with me;
My best friend
Since I lost my last one.
She gave you to me;
I know she did!
To be here with me
Because she couldn’t be.
Even now
With weakening strength,
Your head pops up
When you hear my tears.
And now they fall
Because how will I know?
How will I know
When it’s time to give you back?
