FRIENDS

A friend should be true to the end;
if not, he may not be a friend.
Of all the friends I’ve known
are the ones I have grown.

They are Boston Terriers with pedigree
from that association known as AKC.
From little pups to fully grown
they are the best friends I have known.

Some humans “play the part”,
but never from the heart.
They are here for a while, then gone
to someone else, they now belong.

The sad things are the scars
which they left behind;
for in leaving they break the heart
and leave old friends lovingly blind.
