Marco

Today would have been Marco's 13th birthday, but he passed away ten days ago. I guess if you've never had a pet, it might be hard to understand this...but the two days that followed were filled with such overwhelming sadness... that sometimes I thought I might lose my mind.
However, like everything else, time heals all. So, I thought of writing a pome for Marco in the hope that he is in a better place... Happy Birthday Marco baby.

Little baby Marco
We got him when I was fifteen
the size of my palm, droopy ears
cutest pup I'd ever seen

he gained notoriety pretty fast
around our neighbourhood
for being the dog with the bite and bark
not afraid to use either of the two

...but he also had a lot of love
to give and ask from you
and if you hung around him enough
he would make you as loving too

and wherever he is now
I am sure he's still the same
one day at my time's end
I hope I will see him again.
