My dog
I Want To Be Once
by M.L. Liebler
When I pass
From this world to another,
I want to be greeted
By my old dog
Whom I loved more
Than much of my own life.
I want to, once again,
To feel her warm fur,
Kiss her tender ears
Pet that old tired pooch,
And run together, again,
Down the long corridors
Of memory.
M.L. Liebler is the author and editor of several books of poetry including “Brooding in the Heartlands.” He is a Senior Lecturer at Wayne State University, Detroit. The poem is from a soon to be published book of poetry, “I Want To Be Once.”
