Your Mark

You can’t understand how you have changed my life,

You’ve stood by me through the hardest times.

You never brag or complain or partake in strife, 

My gratitude for you unceasingly climbs.

You are the best listener.

However I guess you can’t exactly speak,

Your intentions are never sinister.

And your happiness is constantly at a peak.

On the coldest days, you bring a spark of sunshine

Your light shines through the darkness of adversity

Even though you are just a canine,

The golden paw mark you’ve left on my heart will last for eternity.

Except now, I must learn how to thrive in life without you

Because now, my college dream is coming true.
