1993-2002
I call him Nukie
He's the color of snow
Wherever life takes him
He's raring to go
He makes no judgements
No assumptions, knows no fears
And he always is begging
For a little scratch behind the ears
He brings a great feeling
To my heart and my soul
An unconditional love
He lifts my spirits when they're low
He can only give love
He knows no other way
I learn so much from my dog
Each and every day
He understands me
In ways I do not know
He knows how I'm feeling
When I don't think it shows
He's always with me
Inside where it counts
And I know it's his love
That I'll never be without
So I'll do my best
To make his life happy
In any way I can
Even writing poems that are sappy
It's the least I can do
When he gives so much
There's a place in our hearts
Only a good dog can touch
I'll try my hardest
To learn from his ways
He makes me a better person
What more can I say
I call him Nukie
He thinks he's a person
I'll let him believe that
'cause he'd be a good one for certain
