No Man or Child Could Love You More than I

October 20, 2018

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is the death of a pet.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

An epitaph for a not-always-obedient dog named Nimrod:

No man or child could love you more than I.

In you I found my master, god, and friend.

Maybe there were claims I did contend,

Refusing to do this or that, but my

Only happiness was in your love,

Deserved or not, a grace my will would prove.
