Brown eyes mirror my heart, love binds through death;
Keeps no secrets hidden from worldly eyes.
Tenderest touch, gentle kiss, warm wet breath.
Treasured time, togetherness as the prize.

Sweetness proves our love, until defied,
Displeasure lifts the brow, turns back to snub.
Icy betrayal turns your head aside.
Beg to favor, treats to restore our love.

Stroll with me through fields of life, in step true.
Awaken all my senses to your sight.
Befriend my solitude, keep frowns as few.
Our friendship proves all that is good and right.

So dear canine friend, our love does grow strong.
Life is lived, so dogs are loved, this our song.

My English teacher "inspired" me to write this sonnet, and my dog Sarge was the inspiration for the poem.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
