Farewell

FAREWELL 
To my dear friend Peter

You left too soon, a life cut short,
Leaving me to navigate a new sort, 
In my heart, you'll always remain, 
A cherished memory that will sustain

You were time capsules of our past,
Inviting forgotten selves to last, 
In your company, we found our histories,
Bringing joy, safety, and shared mysteries.

I'll miss our coffee dates, our chats on the phone, 
The way you listened when I felt alone, 
You saw me in a way no one else did, 
Understood my fears, dreams, and wit
 
Losing you means losing a unique perspective, 
On my life, my purpose, and my directive.
It may take time to heal and move on, 
But I'll find my place, where I belong

Farewell dear friend, protect me from above, 
Wrap me in your wings, with unconditional love, 
And though I’ll miss you every passing day, 
I know you're with me, in every single way.

All dogs go to heaven. My people have a saying "He was my Dog". I think of you just like me. A respecter of poetry. And a user of it to make statements and dedications. But I see this is only the beginning. Ive been here sence 2009.
