Isabella

Well we met online and it didn't take long,
a few short texts and you came right along.
When we first met we went for a walk,
you were so very quiet, but I sure love to talk.

You stuck around and always stood by,
you stayed by my side when the rivers got high.
You fell for me first, but there was another around,
but you stayed in my heart, though it felt like a pound.

When the other left, you gave a kiss,
and for a second I forgot who to miss.
That's when I fell for your big, goofy smile.
You'd clearly passed each stage of your trial.

When the thunder got loud we'd cuddle in bed,
In every fight, we'd always break bread.
Every meal I'd eat you'd steal a bite,
and I saw over time, it got harder to fight.

and every time you'd drink my beer,
we weren't mad, we'd laugh and cheer!
Looking back it's easy to see,
what is clearly still there in front of me.

I love you, Isabella, and I always will.
I guess my full heart is starting to spill.
You're a ray of sunshine in a life of fog.
I'm so very proud to call you my dog.
