Mistakes Forgotten

Sometimes Id pick him up,

The little tyke he was,

And through I'm in the air,

And catch him in a hug.

I'd never let him go far

For fear that he might get hurt

I wouldn't let him leave me

For some odd big flirt.

He was the best pet,

I must admit to say,

That even till this very moment,

And even to this day,

I think of every lasting breathe,

We shared together,

In between the laughs,

That lasted forever.

His tail curled behind him,

As we headed off for school,

I made him sit in a desk,

And learn every rule.

I made him be nice,

I made him make new friends,

I made him be polite,

When he met his first girlfriend.

And now he sits all sober,

Sad with tears falling down his cheeks,

I can't make him happy,

For the days that went to weeks.

His girlfriend had left him,

His friends had gotten mad

For even though he pretended to be happy

He was very, very sad.

He stopped playing with them,

He even stopped laughing,

We stopped visiting the islands,

We stopped even living.

We didn't go to the Haunted Woods,

Just to get ourselves a little scare,

We didn't visit Terror Mountain,

Just to look at the ice and stare.

He was sad when his brother left,

Off to the pound he went,

I sent him away for one reason,

I was going into debt.

He was alone for awhile,

And maybe a little sad,

But even when he pretended,

I knew he wasn't glad.

And even though we were sad,

And even though we didn't have much,

We earned some of it back,

Just so we could buy lunch.

And soon I got more money,

When I won the lottery,

And soon I got our son back,

By making pottery.

I made millions on my work,

I even spent the time,

To make sure they were both happy,

As they were both mine.

Two little angels,

God has given me,

One little krawk,

And one little Eyrie.
