Friendship's Tapestry

So often when I think of you, and all the times we shared,
My heart is filled with thankfulness to have a friend who cared.
You listened oh so quietly to all my joys and trials;
And you're being there had often changed my tears to smiles.

The subtle love between two friends is so hard to define,
especially when one is human and other is canine -
It's somehow like a tapestry with colors soft and bold
Yet deep within the weaving there are tiny threads of gold.

Yes, rare and oh so lovely are your friendship's threads of gold,
For they will last a lifetime and then when my story's told,
Someone will hold my tapestry and turn it towards the light,
And tiny points, those threads of gold, will gleam and shine so bright.

They may think - it's just a thread, like those of green or blue-
Perhaps they'll never ever know that golden thread was you.

I've been thinking lately how you've touched my life just so-
Of how you're yet so dear to me - your warm heart and cold nose.
I feel you're still right next to me, and though you did depart,
Your golden thread of friendship, of love, still weaves within my heart.
