I Weep For My Dearest Daisy

The whispers of your ghost are creaking near the bed Soft sighs from the darkness of the night's half moon light I hope you are near unwilling to move on just yet. The other dog feels it too and he looks up in a moment Sighs and returns to his bed. I woke one night as you groaned and fell Unable to rise anymore a little ashamed Such a good girl feeling old and sick sensing death And the vet gave the injection the pain was gone The owls are quiet now my heart aches from the emptiness I wept outside and others with their dogs looked downward Death no longer rages in the house I wish now I had forced the vet to let me be with you from the beginning But she was young and Covid was there so she only let me be With you just during the last minutes and I kissed your head Are you I pray and hope at rest and feel my love Danny boy sleeps nearby now I know I will love you and hold you in my heart For very long time my dearest Daisy girl.
