You Were There 3 Poem by tyler gayman

You Were There 3

Rating: 5.0


A little back ground, so you all can understand this poem, and where it’s coming from. Just last week, I had to put my dog down, he was my best friend in the world. I had him for 13 out of my 17 years of life. I love him with all my heart. And this is for him. My best friend
______________________________________________________

When I woke up
“you were there”
When I came home late
“you were there”
When I let everyone else down
“you were there”
When I had a bad day
“you were there”
Threw the good and bad
“you were there”
For the past 13 years
“you were there”
But from here on in
“you wont be”

You wont be here
But you will never be forgot
You were and will always be my best friend
And for those 13 years I am forever grateful
I love you Levi, and that will never change
Now and forever you’ll always be in my heart
And until the day we meet again
Ill be missing you.

Tyler, the death of your dog has obviously effected you very deeply. I read your first poem on the subject, but this one is better - not because it is less loving, but because it reads more like a poem in the way you have constructed it. The repetition of the line 'you were there' is a good poetic device (like the chorus of a song) to reinforce the intensity of your message and the final stanza is very nicely phrased. I like this poem very much. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
