Tyler's Dog
by Anonymous
Tyler wanted you before he even saw you. He dreampt of your sweet kisses He prayed for you at night His best friend Mommy and Daddy finally gave in And made Tyler's dream come true We hid you in Tyler's room with his stuffed animals. He will never forget the first time you and him met. You were shy at first But then came to know all of us well Especially Tyler He opened up to you Told you everything You were his buddy He made sure you had food and water Never let you out in the rain or cold And always cried for you if we were away from home You loved his socks You would steal them from him You helped me wake him up in the morning You greeted him when he came home from school You loved him so much I would always say how much you and him were alike Neither one of you listening to me But you took care of one another You ran out to play with him Saturday You got curious like you always did And ran off to explore, just like Tyler But this time, you didnt come back You are gone We had to bury you A part of Tyler is gone He cries for you Sparky He picked out some special socks for you to be buried with He misses you dearly His childhood would not be the same if you had not entered Today he went to school Wearing a wooden cross that he made With your name on it Even though you are gone Your memory is still with him I try to explain to him When he cries "mommy I want to touch him" That you are in his heart now with Jesus But his little heart doesnt understand It only aches for you Oh, Sparky I will miss all that you gave us Your unconditonal love And your special relationship with our special little boy You left us too soon You were only a child yourself You taught Tyler so much just in the short time you had He will never forget you! As you will never forget him!
