Eulogy in B

he had a life
within the life of ours
an imprint on eternity
his cuddles come
from angels now
or he’ll bark at them
relentlessly

Wow. This so eloquently captures the saddness we feel at the loss of a pet. There are four dogs in my life, so I also appreciate the humor of he'll bark at them relentlessly.
