Ode to Chester by Lila, 5th Grade
Ode to Chester.
You get excited often, but I love you anyway.
When you lay at the foot of my bed at night,
your breathing pattern keeps me feeling safe.
The pictures of you as a puppy show
me how much you’ve grown.
Your chocolate brown eyes drag me in
for a snuggle.
Ode to Chester.
You know when I’m down, but the
brushing of your warm fur against
my arm makes me feel better.
You are my companion, and with me
you are to stay.
