Golden Green

You always had the most peculiar traits.
You knew two languages, English and Spanish
You were the most well behaved of any other I had ever seen.
You could touch the lives of people with just one wag of your tail.
Though some feared you for your size,
They soon learned you were just an over sized teddy bear.
You were never disagreeable.
You were ashamed of yourself when you did something wrong,
Whether it was that you puked or went inside the house,
You tried to hold it in for as long as you could,
That's what matters.
For us you endured such pain.
You should have made it clearer.
You should have told us you were hurting.
Maybe then you wouldn't be six feet under.
Maybe then we would see your golden green eyes again.
