For My Hero

by R.T. Garner

In the depths of darkness, shadows reside

There came a hero, right by my side.

Her fur was black as night, but her eyes filled with grace.

My loyal friend, my dog, Kahlua’s embrace.

Through battles with demons, both fierce and unseen,

Kahlua stood firm, a constant serene.

In the midst of a raging storm of gloom and despair,

Kahlua remained faithful, a companion who cared.

During moments of anguish, tears stained my face,

Kahlua would nudge, and bring comfort and grace.

By wagging her tail and licking my hand,

Reminding me, that I could withstand.

She knew not the depth of the battles I faced,

But Kahlua’s company brought peace and grace.

Her unwavering love and never-ending bond,

Helped me rise above, with the strength to respond.

When darkness consumed, and hope seemed to wane,

Kahlua’s eyes sparked a flame, that eased every pain.

With every experience, every walk side by side,

She taught me to cherish, to live, and to abide.

Through the highs and lows, she was always there,

My loyal hero, my soul’s sweet repair.

Her love had no limits, her loyalty unbound,

Kahlua, my savior, my peace had been found.

So here’s to my hero, my dog, Kahlua, so dear,

For standing by me, through sorrows and fear.

Though her time with me may be all too brief,

Her love and guidance will forever bring relief.

In the depths of my heart, her memory will stay,

A constant reminder, to face a new day.

For my hero, my dog, Kahlua, perpetually strong,

Thank you for teaching me how to belong.
