Tracey L Garrett Poet Rhyme

Gentle Death

I’m unwanted and un-kept
My eyes alone show I’ve wept
A second chance should fate allow
A dreamless sleep is best for now
Taken in your hands of care
My need no longer to beware
Silent tears you shed for me
No pain I feel…at last I’m free.

Yoni Dvorkis January 12, 2009 at 5:04 PM This is very heartfelt. The best thing you could ever do for them is alleviate their suffering. That's what love is for really. I'm sure your pet (I have a dog myself) cherished you.
