My Furry Friend

This is a 5 x 7 wood plaque that I gave to a neighbor who wanted a portrait of her lab Webster. I thought I would add a poem I found for all you pet lovers. Please enjoy!

What would I do without you,
My precious, furry friend?
Part mischief, but all blessing,
And faithful to the end!

You look at me with eyes of love;
You never hold a grudge...
You think I'm far too wonderful
To criticize or judge.

It seems your greatest joy in life,
Is being close to me...
I think God knew how comforting
Your warm, soft fur would be.

I know you think you're human,
But I'm glad it isn't true...
The world would be a nicer pace
If folks were more like you!

A few short years are all we have,

One day we'll have to part...
But you, my pet, will always have
A place within my heart.
