Grace

Miss your barks, miss your presence Miss your enthusiastic greetings, miss your adorable face Miss the innocence of your brown eyes, miss your liveliness Miss the vibes that you spread, of your infectious cheerfulness Miss the walks we took together and the hikes we did to hills and lakes Miss your tenacity and stamina and your amazing athletic strength Miss your adept swimming for a stick you wanted to fetch Miss your feisty eagerness when you ran and played your favorite ball-chase Miss those conversations we had of unspoken language Miss feeling your calming aura around while doing yoga on the carpet Miss your alert growling at the sound of the doorbell Miss your sweet friendliness to connect with all the arriving guests Though we no longer see you coming to our calls, Or see you retrieving no more of your favorite sticks and balls You live in our thoughts, you live in our hearts I ponder and pause, feel you near, not far Your incredible patience, your enormous faith, Your immense confidence and your selflessness Reva, you were an ideal example of God’s grace… Having you in our lives, we truly feel blessed!!
