A Little Bit Longer Poem by Audrey Heller

I pray, everyday, with all my heart, for
my dog, to live a little bit longer! For
in my life, he's played such an important
part. When I was ill, he helped, to make
me stronger! He's getting older, as we
all do and the changes, one can see!
But this little fellow, has been by my side
and when I needed him the most, he was
always, there for me! It's hard to think,
that so much time has passed, as I still
remember him, as a pup! How cute and
cuddly he was, you just felt, like eating
him, up! Where did the time go? It seems
like only yesterday, he was so small. Now,
I watch him aging and the ache in my heart,
says it all! Perhaps if God wills it, he'll stay
at least, for another year. It will mean, so
very much to me! But no matter, how much
time he has left, in my heart, there will be a
special place and that's where, he'll always
be!
