Jaspers Poem - (If a dog could talk)

I love you in the morning
When you take me for a walk.
Even when you stand around
With people, when you all talk!
I love you in the afternoon
When you give me my first meal.
And even though its beef, or lamb
I don’t want you to buy me veal!
I love you in the evening
When we lounge and watch TV.
You in your armchair, me on the sofa
Casualty – who cares, as long as you’re with me.
I love you in the nighttime
When you let me roam the place.
And if I feel a bit insecure, or lonely
I visit your room to look at your face.
I love you all of the time
Because you are my wonderful Mum.
And you look after and protect me
When you’re with me – I’m never glum.
I’ll love you even more and more
Until my life is through.
But until that time, I know I’ll just
Keep on loving you.

A poem about man's best friend the dog, about loyalty, devotion, friendship, companionship, trust, love, and caring, and about what a dog would say if he could talk. This is inspired by my mum's dog Jasper, and his devotion to my mum.
