Of all the pet stories that live on this shelf, this one belongs by the sea. When Karen moves to a new home and feels far from everything familiar, it’s her dog Goldie who shows her how to be brave — one careful step at a time. A gentle, rhythmic poem about loyalty, change, and the quiet comfort of a faithful friend.
Karen and Goldie moved close to the sea,
A new home with waves and a salt-scented breeze.
Karen felt nervous, so far from her friends,
But with Goldie beside her, the worry soon ends.
“Let’s go explore, Goldie!” Karen would say,
Goldie’s tail wagged, and they were on their way.
They walked through the grass and down to the shore,
Goldie barked at the waves, always eager for more.
The wind blew in warm and the seabirds called high,
Karen watched Goldie and let out a sigh.
“Stay close, Goldie,” she whispered with care,
Goldie nudged her gently, staying right there.
Karen’s grandma said, with a smile so warm,
“Change can be hard, but love can transform.
Stay close to Goldie, and be present each day,
Notice her joy, and love will light your way.”
Karen watched Goldie sniff and play,
The way her fur glowed in the sun’s bright ray.
She noticed how Goldie’s ears perked up high,
When birds flew past in the wide, blue sky.
One day, the waves crept close to their feet,
Karen felt scared as the tide began to meet.
The rocks felt slippery, and she wasn’t sure,
But Goldie stayed calm and helped her endure.
Goldie led Karen, step by step,
Through the rocks and sand that were wet.
Karen held tight to her brave, furry friend,
Together they walked until the path reached its end.
“Good girl, Goldie,” Karen said with a hug,
“You kept me safe,” she whispered, feeling snug.
Karen learned love was about being there,
Sharing each moment, showing you care.
Now, when they wander where the seabirds roam,
Karen knows she’s never alone.
With Goldie close by, her loyal crew,
They explore the world, just these two.
Love is simple and strong, Karen can see,
It’s in each step they take by the sea.
And Goldie, with a wag, seemed to say,
“We’re together forever, come what may.”
