Analysis of Mimzy
Kurt Blair 1963 (Tanzania, Africa)
My little dog Mimzy was with me all the time
She was my service dog, my companion and my friend
Her eyes were blind but she could see with her big heart
I miss and love her so very much from the very start
She had diabetes that’s why she went blind
Iinsulin shots every day and it made me cry
She was always with me every place I would go
the doctor’s office, a food place or to the store
She slept on my leg every day and every night
Then came that very sad and lonely night
I tried to wake her up that morning but she was gone
God took her to Heaven where she really belonged
