Right Hand Man

.

You have watched me flourish,

You have watched me die

You’ve spoken anthologies

While always remaining quiet

I have given the largest part of me

Towards growing with you

Everyday you wake up with those big brown eyes

Telling me “there’s nothing I’d rather do”

Your gentle disposition

Has led me through my darkest days

And you have given me a gift

I know I can’t repay

Though you have just over a decade

With me as your ground

I promise to make it the best it can be

And reciprocate the love I’ve found

You are the most important thing

I have ever taken on

And your legacy will shine

Long after you are gone

Until I pass away

And the bugs and worms return me to the land

You will always be by my side,
