Keku by Keku Or dreams and prays finally arrived Our puppy will soon be home; the fairies have told me so My father, my night in shinning amour A puppy hiding behind We called her Keku, the name of grandma’s cat Mostly black and swirls of white Fur fluffy as cotton My puppy grew too quickly A dog was born that night Taught her tricks, so smart was she Keku rang the bell, passed her children notes and spoke upon command Rekadeediks, Rekadeediks can you hear us calling you? Our childhood companion grew old with us Time changing her silky black fur to a duller shine Black button eyes a bit lack luster these days Keketeecoo from Timbuktu, we love you Wedding day approaching May we dress you too? Keku never made it to see my wedding day Never dressing her in fancy lace that sunny day in May Memories are locked so deep Keku we love you Rekadeediks, Rekadeediks, till we meet in heaven one day Added to GotPoetry.com ( http://www.gotpoetry.com ) on 05-May-2009
