Annie Fifi

They usually say You are not that pretty Short flat nose Wrinkled face And eyes that are dark and buggy. But to us You are a beauty Your unique and comical features Set you at par With everyone In the canine family. We saw you from a breeder You have many siblings And it was difficult to choose From a litter Of pug puppies. But you like to show off And came to us by surprise Looked at us With your globular eyes That were full of fire and smiles. We were so excited We carried you Your square and compact body Fitted into ours It warmed us inside. Your creamy thick coat Shed heavily The glossy small hair Stuck into our velvety Black dresses And turned them Into salt and pepper. We took you home And named you Annie Fifi You are so good friendly Like the sunburst You shine through our hearts. No one could ever surpass The loyalty and protection you gave us Every waking moment in our lives We felt safe By your side. Now you are old Mostly blind and deaf Your time is near Towards its end And still you brighten Our days. If you could feel our hearts You will surely know That all we want Is what is best for you To make your world A happy place. Annie Fifi A family You are a great blessing From the one above.
