Poem
Almost a week… My knees, they’re still weak. I can hardly sleep… all I do is moan and weep. Your soft coat I so miss… and that wet slobbery kiss. You lying on that floor… so tired and worn. I never thought I could live without my sweet boy, I just saw a few pictures of you playing with your toy. Your bone is still chewed and your collar still warm, I’m alone and confused as to why I’m so torn. But maybe one day I’ll think of you and not cry, but today’s not the day and I’ll tell you why. You were one of my soulmates. I believe you can have more than one on earth. I remember the day Karen brought you home, you were so small with big paws and gently brown eyes. Your tail never stopped wagging until you took your final breath and the kisses goodbye I’ll never forget. You needed me when she left but the truth is I needed you much more. You saved my soul from anguish and brought my misery to a halt. If only for six years I was able to hold you in my arms, I'm more grateful than I’ve ever been. In the end you were so tired and I was so confused. How was I to know when it was the right time to close your eyes? What an awful decision for a pet owner. To actually have to choose the day, the hour and the minute to say goodbye to your own precious child. I was born to love you and you were born to me mine. You were tired back then but I brought you back to life. Your head followed my every move and the days will come when I may be able to smile but now is not that day it may take awhile. No matter what the days will bring in the future you will always remain my hearts sewn on suture. You mended me up and made me whole and now that I said goodbye I have an empty hole. Too cold outside and too hot in my soul but I know deep down I’ll never let you go. Life’s too short and life’s too long but I will always remember our favorite song. “To Make You Feel My Love” by Adele was playing in my head the day I brought you home and gave you a warm bed. I gently rubbed your head and softy stroked your ears, as you looked at me so sweetly and kissed away my sad tears. We both lost her together and we needed each other’s love, now that your first mommy is tenderly resting with you above. Free me oh Lord, from the misery and pain and bring me sunshine throughout this torrential rain. This red stain I shall carry deep and when at night I try to sleep I will still quietly weep forever, for my one and only beautiful Golden Retriever. lost without your kiss night is when I miss you most caressing your golden fur I know I’ve been blessed it was time to let you go goodbye dear Bo, my sweet boy October 15, 2016
