My hero

He coat kept me warm 
his breathe gave me hope
His voice gave me direction 
His hands had me a weapon 
His eyes gave me a sense of connection 
His smile gave me laughter 
His skills gave me protection and hunted food
His speed gave me time
His face gave me feeling 
His voice gave attention 
As mine did as by one name
He was my best friend
With his brown coat
Waving his long old tail 
As he ran threw the muddy grounds
Swooshing up his short legs
As the guns fired 
And he had said his final last goodbye
​​
