The night is very dark with a slight summer breeze,
A shimmer of moon peeking through the branches of trees.
I hear another’s footsteps in the distance from behind,
Hopefully the owner is a person that’s very kind.
As I continue to walk further, a pounding in my heart,
The moon gets brighter as the clouds start to part.
I turn around as I hear the sound at a faster pace,
Gleefully I shout as the moon lights up my brothers face.

Loyalty You can't buy loyalty, they say, I bought it though, the other day; You can't buy friendship, tried and true, Well just the same, I bought that too. I made my bid, and on the spot Bought love and faith and a whole job lot Of happiness, so all in all The purchase price was pretty small. I bought a single trusting heart, That gave devotion from the start If you think these things are not for sale, Buy a brown-eyed puppy with a stump of a tail. Author Unknown
Very interesting, I can’t find the author of this poem but it is strangely similar to the verses in my poem.
My Poem Bought A Dog Bought a dog a year ago, Thought id' be some company ya know. Needed some noise and scuttle in the home, Wife's been gone and I'm so alone. Thinking bout the trouble I'm in for, Cleaning up the messes on the floor. Feeding n' grooming, worming n' shots Costing me more then I even gots. It's been a year now and trouble he be, But I got more then that, I got loyalty. I got a friend now tried and true, Got all that when I bought Billy Blu. Author Eileen Clark My Poem Was written in 1994
I am so sorry I have to say to my sweet cat Once again I really didn't mean to do that Left her sitting at the door for how long Her cries and meows just aren't very strong When I see her sitting there it breaks my heart I must come up with a plan, I need to be smart I'll think like a cat, to me what would she tell Said my cat, that's simple, just lower the door bell Author Eileen Clark 2022
What did I do to you now, did I do something wrong I'm going to get through this and try to be strong I had a feeling this was coming, expected the worst I tried to be prepared, all my words so well rehearsed To my complete surprise the rejection came in a letter This persons is a coward, I thought I knew them better I'm not getting a chance to ask the hundred questions Many friends are overloading me with their suggestions I thought foolishly that you were really mine That you felt the same and we were totally fine I read further down and realized I'm the real fool That you believe dating others is absolutely cool Seems I'm the only one that's experiencing a broken heart Looks like I'm proving to be a person not very smart Moving on with my life, these sad feelings I can shake Accepting the fact that this was indeed my big mistake Author Eileen Clark
