Ode to My Favorite

By Brandi Donaldson

My favorite, my favorite of all –

You can’t be replaced; not that easily.

I want you here right now.

You’re my baby; nothing will change that.

You’re my puppy even though you are grown.

You’re my sweetie and always will be.

I love you so dearly.

Please don’t go.

You’re the milk to my cereal,

The Captain to my crunch,

The peanut to my butter.

I don’t want to let you go,

But you’re getting older –

You’re up their in dog years.

Please don’t go.

Please don’t leave me, my favorite.

Please, I beg you – don’t go.
