Analysis of Man's Best Friend

Kyle Studt 1989 (West Frankfort)



Loyal, faithful, true and kind,  
A better friend, you'll never find,  
With wagging tail and joyful bark,  
A dog will always light up your heart.  

With soulful eyes and a wet nose,  
He'll comfort you when you've got the woes,  
His furry head placed on your knee,  
Has a power to make you feel free.  

When life feels tough and all you need,  
Is a good mate who'll never deceive,  
No human friend could ever measure,  
To the love of such a furry treasure.  

Through thick and thin and high and low,  
A dog's devotion will surely glow,  
Man's best friend is what they claim,  
Because that bond forever remains.  

So here's to those beloved pets,  
Who brighten lives without regrets,  
A dog's love will never end,  
Our truest and most loyal friend.

About this poem

This is a poem that I wrote when we had just got our Lab puppy. The feelings of that moment hit me and I just had to get it out and on paper.

I would not consider myself a poet but I like to write what I feel. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, but it is true to me. more…
