Cherished

Today loyal friend they put you to sleep So I sit all alone and silently weep No more could be done your life to extend You fought the brave fight right to the end. I recall how I rescued you from the pound Brought you home watched you run around Your crazy antics your funny ways Lifted my spirits on my darkest days. They tell me that I'll soon forget Go out they say and find a new pet At the moment I know you can't be replaced The emotions are raw in my heart you're encased. I buried your ashes under the tree Where you loved to dig and hide bones from me This pain I carry will someday end Till it happens I'll grieve for my little friend.

Sometimes for us who like to write with rhyme it can be challenging to find the words that truly reflect our feelings. Well done, it is easy to recognize the depth of feelings you have for your pet.
Grieving may diminish but the loving memories will always stay.

So many who have dogs pass away say they could never replace them , so strong was the bond. I hope that you may one day find a wonderful new furry companion......
