Oscar
Black as midnight
Brown as caramel
Sweet like it, too
He ran into our lives
out of a leafy bush
at the bottom of the driveway
Humility, playfulness
with a deep bark
he protected our family
Black as midnight
Brown as caramel
Sweet like it, too
Always cheerful to greet
his excitement showed
that you were home
The softest, floppy ears
Full, short legs loved to run
up hills and together
Black as midnight
Brown as caramel
Sweet like it, too
He was a part of us
carrying comfort and peace
We'll always remember
Black as midnight
Brown as caramel
Sweet like it, too
