On The Day That He Came To Stay, by Linda Moon

Dedicated to Shep

He walked into the house
And took charge
On the day
That he came to stay

We thought we would have a girl
But he had other plans
When he went running to the car
And jumped in
Uninvited
On the day
That he came to stay

He walked into the house
And took the cat’s toys
Just to show “him” who was boss
On the day
That he came to stay

He walked into the house
And rearranged it
Things were not to “his” liking
On the day
That he came to stay

He walked into the house
And chose his own bed
Not where we said
On the day
That he came to stay

He walked into the house, “his house”
And stayed for the rest of his life
Taking care of his “people”
And his “cat”
And we still feel him near

On the day
That he couldn’t stay
He let us know
That he would still be here
As always
Since the very first day
That he came to stay
