Memory of a Friend

One year ago today we said our goodbyes, still hurting and missing you so. I should be able to get on with life, but not having you here doesn't seem real. You brought so many smiles to my face, you were such a great friend so faithful and loyal. Every March 3rd will always bring saddness to my heart, I know that everything in time must die, but yours came to fast for me to accept it, I hope that in time the hurt goes away, just a little bit. So Murphy my dear and faithful dog, this poem is to let you know, that I still love and miss you. In memory of Murphy my beloved dog of 12 years 8 months and five days. June 26, 1997 to March 3, 2010

Dear James, I'm so sorry you had to lose Murphy. He was pretty well on in dog years, but that doesn't ease the pain. I had my Katy Cat for 20 years and when she died, I felt like my world had collapsed. She was all I had. My heart goes out to you. This was written so tenderly that I can feel your loss. Thanks for reading my poem. It's nice to know I'm not the only "weird" person in this world. Love, Carolyn

Pets do become a big part of our families James. Like many we miss them so much when they go. Lovely warm heartfelt piece to Murphy....:)
