For the Love of Maya

My sadness has lingered through the years. Thoughts of you, still brings me to tears. It was about us, just you and me. Many years together, it was supposed to be. I still miss your sweet, beautiful face. My gentle soul, you were of nature's grace. You brought sound into my world of silence. I gave you a haven, away from the violence. You came to me, knowing only fear. In time you were thriving and happy here. I saw love in your crystal blue eyes. That precious gift, a wonderful surprise. Then one morning, you were suddenly gone. I held you tightly, but your spirit moved on. I think of you, missing you everyday. Within my heart you will forever stay. But, my sweet Maya, I believe you knew. The depth of love that I had for you. One day, we will meet again. Maya, my beautiful dog, my beloved friend.
