Out there he stands so proud and all
And yet he’s only one foot tall
He knows he’s cute and struts the lot
His coat so black with one white spot
His legs designed for thrice their length
He’s six feet tall with inner strength
With long black head and shaggy tail
He loves the girls, a purebred male
When he sits up to plead his case
He says it clear that he’s an ace
He loves all dogs, a friendly sort
How big they are has no import
His big dark eyes will win the day
But kids and cats should stay away
While filled with love beyond the brim
There’s still no fight to big for him
He gives and cares and shares with all
To be so free fulfills his call
His eyes do speak in every way
There is so much he wants to say
(continued)
He knows the words both large and small
His wisdom he imparts to all
And in return a loving hand
The strength and softness from the land
He shares his strength as mavericks will
From depth to height with greatest skill
His inner soul he shares with pride
His karma comes from deep inside
But he shares best with those who know
The inner soul of each rainbow
On mountain tops, he still looks up
From higher power he longs to sup
He’s blessed my life for many years
In greatest growth or even tears
One can’t deny his inner thrust
He seems to say in God please trust
He never takes for taking’s sake
But shares the crest of life’s great wake
He’s left his mark on those he’s met
He’s more than just a special pet
How’s Captain is a common plea
“Say Hi to Captain, please for me”
