Dogs Are Angels

  All dogs are angels. This piece is dedicated to Compton. You will always be in my heart.

  Dogs Are Angels

  Sometimes dogs know too much

  And not by cruel touch

  but how I share my fears

  blended with salty tears

  When I touch their fur at night

  it keeps my ghosts alight

  They seem to hear my soul

  Whether unheard or I’ve spoke

  No judgement in their eyes

  They seem to wonder why

  But then they wag their tail

  I finally can exhale

  And then it’s not so bad

  Though I’d been really sad

  Dogs are angels

  Yes dogs are angels

  I know mine are
