Suggestion given

Plot: Man dies, & is reincarnated into adopted family dog

Familiar faces all around, none with a smile

It was everyone I loved, cared for, all here for one last little while

The atmosphere was heavy, the room was filled with quiet tears & beeping machines all around

How I wish they could be just a bit louder, just enough to cover that saddening sound

This would be my death bed, of this I had no doubt

It was a farewell gathering, it's what human closure was inevitably about

A few good breathes & smiles to give

I went quicker than I'd hoped, wishing to continue to live

It was, a strange feeling to wake & see my kitchen in front of me

Was this a dream, was it my version of what I wanted to see

It was like everything had grown

Somehow I felt things uneasy, unfamiliar, colors weren't easily being shown

More than that, I heard very well, familiar voices coming near, footsteps, I could somehow smell who it was on the way

Sure enough, giant versions of my family had appeared, some calling to me good morning "Earl Gray"

As I moved forward, & looked down, I could see paws, frightened at what this was, I called out, only to hear a bark, & stares with many shushes given

I was truly an old gray dog, I was still alive, but not sure for how long, Gray's life wasn't the one I'd hoped to keep livin

What a way, what a world to be in after feeling, & living 10ft tall...

Now I'm, furry, gray, old, & 3ft small...
