Missing Many



My wigglewarm,
a little doggie
that meant warm
company,

Many will and will not
understand this,
"only a dog",
been told this before,
Lord,
they have kids, I don't,
my wigglewarm was my kid,
tough to let go of this,

they are there and then they
are gone,  I lost my wife,
my dad,  my uncle,
yet the most tender spot in
my heart right now is for my
wigglewarm.

About this poem

We all miss people and pets that we have lost in our lives. Mine keep piling up like clean laundry.
