Notes About The Poem

----------------------------------- Written: 08.07.20 – 08.09.20 Contest: All Pets Go To Heaven Sponsor: Constance La France

One Day Boo

Blessed are those that before already knew
the living ark for in him they 
found Heaven one day Boo.

His light casts no shadows — it goes right thru,
all tears will be wiped away in 
God’s Heaven one day Boo.

Angelic songs comfort animals too,
nothing will ever die again
in Heaven one day Boo.

Find sweet Smudges among the flowers blue
and tell her mother is coming 
to Heaven one day Boo.

I have already started to miss you,
tomorrow always comes too soon,
til Heaven one day Boo.

Eve Roper Date: 5/19/2021 5:44:00 PM Lovely write, Rob, at first at was about talking to a child then read below. It is very hard to lose a Pet. The few I've lost in the past. This one I own now is elven and I have had him since he was six weeks old. Two years ago I thought I lost him shortly after I lost my husband and I couldn't stand him. I got very luck he got well. He had an a cutie pancreatitis. Soup mail, sorry I guess i thought I sent it. Login to Reply Rob Carmack Date: 5/21/2021 11:17:00 AM Never thought about that, but yes it could be about a child. I wish pets lived longer. Glad yours pulled through. I got the soup mail and replied. God bless you Eve.

Brandy Nicole Date: 8/9/2020 8:11:00 PM "Blessed are those" Reminds me of the Beatitudes. There is something we can learn from animals- they give Unconditional Love. Your thoughts wrap gently around me. Hold your moments with Boo so close. "One Day" I know that day you are not wanting to think about. There is peace in knowing that comfort awaits. ~ Brandy Login to Reply Rob Carmack Date: 8/11/2020 7:35:00 PM It is tough to think about, but I sometimes still do. Helps to keep from taking things for granted, especially time. TY for reading and commenting.

Sigrid Ermine Date: 8/9/2020 7:01:00 PM Truly sweet tribute to your gal pup. 'Tomorrow always comes too soon', real tear jerker.
