I have written a new poem in memory of my late chihuahua, Lois. I wanted to share it with everyone.

"HER NAME WAS LOIS"
I WAS WALKING DOWN A SHELTER
OF HOMELESS CATS AND DOGS
BY MY KNEES I THOUGHT I FELT HER
WALKING HAPPILY NEXT TO ME

LIKE I USED TO DO, NOT SO LONG AGO
I CALLED HER NAME OUT LOUD
BUT AMONGST A ROOM FULL OF LIFE
NOT A SOUND ABOUND

TROUBLED AND AT STRIFE,
I TRIED TO SEE AHEAD
BUT IN THIS GAME OF LIFE
IT IS HARD TO COMPREHEND

WHILE WE ARE LIVING TO WIN,
WE ARE DYING TO LOSE
AND WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN
FOR THAT, WE HAVE NO EXCUSE

IN SORROW AND IN SHAME
I LOOKED DOWN AT MY FEET
FOR A MOMENT I SAW A SHADOW FLEET
LOIS WAS HER NAME,
AND SHE HAD MADE HER LIFE COMPLETE.
