Poetry is Power: Dogs are friends forever

 

Dogs,

Are friends,

Are love,

Are happiness,

Are fun,

Are companions.

Dogs are amazing,

They are so important to our lives,

They brighten things up when it gets dark.

They are always our friends,

They listen to us,

They are always positive and wanting to play,

They tell us that everyone needs a friend,

And it’s the truth,

We all need a friend in this world,

And dogs are great at being friends.

Maybe they are trying to teach us a lesson,

Trying to tell us,

That everyone needs a friend,

And we can help with that,

We can be,

Kind and caring,

Thoughtful and patient,

We can be friends,

Just like the dogs,

Because dogs are,

Friends forever.
