“Always Love Your Pet, No Matter How Old They Get”
Poetry from the heart by Lesley M. Patterson
This poem won an Honorable Mention in the Children’s Educational Poetry Contest on the website www. FamilyFriendPoems .com in August of 2018 .
I wrote this poem because animals are very special to me. I am an animal advocate. Our family has 4 of our own little fur-babies. my dog (Kali) and 3 cats (The Haunt, Schiz, and Dudette ). All of our pets are older (from 5 to 14 years old) All but the two brother kitties were rescued animals. I have a deep love for my animals, and I wanted to write this poem especially for children because they need to be taught to always be loving and kind to their pets, no matter how old they get.

Pets are people, too, just like me and you.
They need food in their tummies and lots ofbeefy yummies .
They are little, but their hearts are BIG.
They like to go outside, get fresh air, and dig.
From big to small, they give their all,
And you can play with them with a toy or with a ball.
To the special bond betweenhuman and pet ,
always by your side, forever, I’ll bet.
Your faithful pet depends on you
and all the special things for themthat you do.
Pets help teach us nature’s true compassion.
They do not withhold love, nor with it do they ration.
And with our pets, Ihave no doubt ,
that we are lucky not to have to live without.
A furry friend that’s always happy to see you,
from life’sups and downs and all that people do.
It’s quite a sight for sore eyes tobehold,
because that bond is as special as gold.
Always show them love andgood measure,
and reap each day a true friend to treasure.
Children, remember to be good to yourpet
Be loving to them, no matter how old they get.
Never abandon them or leave them out in the cold orheat,
and you’ll have a pet that’s super neat!
Always treat them with kindness andlove,
for they are truly a gift from above!
Be understanding and patient with them, because they will be for you.
