Words: 252
Come walk with me my dogs and follow where I lead.
Lay by the water I will bring both of you, your feed.
You both will stand by my side.
Nothing on Earth will hurt your hide.
Aurum my dog of gold.
You were always bold.
You guarded and kept me safe me when we were traveling.
Even when we were battling.
Argentum my dog of silver.
You kept me safe, when we had to deliver.
You got hurt and lost an eye.
You are a true ally.
You know when someone is lying.
I know what you both are implying.
With your sharp metal teeth.
There is no need for my sword in my sheath.
Jellybeans are your favorite things to eat.
But this treat is truly sweet.
And it is almost impossible.
To clean, luckily you both are washable.
Upon the high rocks I will stand.
With the both of you walking below on the land.
Together through rivers, mountains and woods.
You both alone are my worldly goods.
When I am with you both.
I keep my oath.
Never am I in harm's way.
My dogs of metal are always here to stay.
Through the storms and fires, we stay.
Things always end, but no do not dismay.
You both will close your ruby eyes and leave.
I will be left to grieve.
Alone I stand without my loyal dogs.
To fight alone for the gods.
Argentum and Aurum my dogs always know.
That your master Reyna will not let you go.
Thank you so much for reading!
