Benji
~ By Sue ~

My little Benji disappeared
He never did come back home
I have had him since he was born
Now he is out there all alone

I looked and looked for him
Going up and down the streets
Even called out his name
Now he will not get his treets

My heart is aching so much now
To think he is out there all alone
How am I going to sleep tonight
Without my little dog at home

This is so sad. But a good write

Cold hands means a warm heart

Sue, you described one of the saddest situations a person can go through. I've been there and felt the same way

Oh Sue, this is so sad. As I was reading this, I was thinking about my little dog, Scooter. I've had him since he was born, too....well, Gary's Dad and step-mom had his mama and I got him as soon as he could leave his mama. I don't know what I would do if something happened to my little Scooter. I sure do hope that you find your dog.

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Sue, my heart goes out to you, my prayers are out that you find your Benji nsoon, i know these tears because my kittys when I was a little boy were lost too! (sad sigh) I send angel hugs of hope and comfort your way, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Oh... my heart goes out to you.  How sad... I have a little dog, and I can imagine how you must feel... I hope he comes home soon.

Be strong and think good thoughts...

Hope he comes home soon Sue.  I know how that feels.  Maybe you can put out some lost dog posters.

Nice poem, just one thing the third line of stanza three "to think he is out there all alone" distorts the rhytm a little, if you could maybe find a way of cutting the syllable count down a little the poem will have a very nice rhythm to it that shall add to the emotions of being frantic and worried

he's not alone...he's stolen someone's heart, and when he's done charming, he'll come back home...just like a man I guess
