About This Poem
Watching Death - Red Dog
For anyone else who has had to watch their puppy die of the horrible Parvo disease
I watched death come
Taking someone I need
The cruel pain begun
But I watched you bleed
I bathed you once and then again
But the stench of death remained like sin
You asked why with eyes of trust
But save you, selfishly I thought I must
No, not for you the sin was mine
Forgive me now, show me a sign
Those days and nights I put you through
You know I prayed and prayed for you
You touched my life in many ways
Though for such a short number of days
Through death - until the end
Your eyes were bright, you were my friend
I buried you under a big shade tree
With heavy stones to guard you for me
With your favorite toys and blanket of pink
Until I find you waiting beyond where death and life link
For Red Dog
