Share Poems About a Boy and His Dog With Grieving Family
Do you have a favorite poem about a boy and a dog? If so, please share it with a heart-broken boy.
Debbie barked in to ask for help with her family’s loss. Her son’s coonhound Buck met an untimely end and her son is grieving.
Please don’t tell Debbie that Buck should have been inside with her son. I agree but let’s try to help her son find some solace in Buck’s movement to the Rainbow Bridge.
Debbie, my furbaby Annie, also a coonhound, sends her sympathies, along with those of the rest of the Ward Pack.
I am so lost.
My son 15 raise his walker coon dog from a pup hunting him every night he could. He was so proud of the job he had done. He would take him to hunt with grown men and win. I can’t tell you how much he
loved this dog and we awoke this morning to fine he had gotten out of his pin and got hit by a car and had died. See this man had gave him a dog to train with his dog Buck and the new dog dug out of the pin and buck followed.My son is so heart broken. How do i help him? What to i say ? I was looking for a poem that talked about the love and bond between a boy and his dog. Any advice?
I do not have a poem on hand so I wrote one from my heart.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Dedication to Buck and his boy
Boys and humans of youth have many heroes growing up.
But the best role model at times seems to be simply a pup.
They learn of loyalty, unconditional love and servitude,
Resentment ceases to exist, materialistic things they elude.
They follow at times with blind trust in their eyes,
Having the knack to know when to follow, when to guide.
Buck was grateful and knew of your devotion and love,
He continues to guide you from the skies above.
Know that you were one one lucky dog’s world and joy,
For you showed one lucky pup the love of an amazing boy.
How beautiful, Lena Malik! Thank you!
Lend Me A Pup
I will lend to you for awhile
a puppy, God said,
For you to love him while he lives
and to mourn for him when he is gone.
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years,
or maybe for two or three
But will you, till I call him back
take care of him for me?
He’ll bring his charms to gladden you
and (should his stay be brief)
you’ll always have his memories
as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise that he will stay,
since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught below
I want this pup to learn.
I’ve looked the whole world over
in search of teachers true
And from the folk that crowd life’s land
I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love
Nor think the labour vain
Nor hate me when I come to take my pup back again.
I fancied that I heard them say
“Dear Lord Thy Will Be Done,”
For all the joys this pup will bring,
the risk of grief you’ll run.
Will you shelter him with tenderness
Will you love him while you may
And for the happiness you’ll know forever grateful stay.
But should I call him back
much sooner than you’ve planned
Please brave the bitter grief that comes
and try to understand.
If, by your love, you’ve managed
my wishes to achieve,
In memory of him that you’ve loved,
cherish every moment with your faithful bundle,
and know he loved you too.
