He showed up one day,
Yellow matted fur.
Made friends with my girl,
Found out he loved her.
Ate all the dog food,
Decided to stay.
A nuisance at first,
Please just go away.
He followed us up
And down the street.
He shared meals with us,
And he loved Sweet Pea.
He ran at a touch
Or step towards him.
Slept out in the rain
Or under a limb.
This went on for years
And we grew so close.
He sat in my lap
While we watched clouds float.
It all changed one day
And our world grew dark.
Our gentle friend
With his tender heart.
He lost the fight
That windy night.
Hid in the woods-
He understood.
He was going to die.
She was going to cry.
No time to ask why.
No time for goodbye.
She buried him then
That Easter Sunday.
Wrapped in a white sheet
He slept on some days.
Life went on but
Miss him so much.
Wish we could just
Have one more touch.
Just one more day.
Just want to say
We love you Ballou
And we’ll see you soon.
We hear him sometimes.
His footsteps so near.
We call out his name-
Ballou please come here.
