I Have Three Favorite Pets- Pet
My three sweet boys passed within one year,
a Golden Retriever, white fluffy bunny and a Pug.
When I think of each memory I still wipe a tear,
and my delicate heart strings rip apart and are tug.
That Mugsy was so lazy with a stubby curly tail,
Bo was gentle, but arthritis made him slow as a snail.
Lucky my bunny always ate apples and kale.
But really all in one year? How could God let this be?
At times I feel I did something wrong to deserve the pain.
But it wasn't until my eyes opened recently with clarity
I saw I must allow all the happy moments to remain.
Mugsy with his yellow ducky that on purpose he'd drop,
and when I caressed Bo I wished to never stop.
Oh, just watching my bunny Lucky hop, hop, hop!
I watched them all take their last and final breath,
picturing them running across the bridge with glee.
For even though I feel the sorrow from their death,
I know they are in heaven with loved ones in harmony.
They each were so special to my family and I,
and yes when I see thier scrapbooks I still do cry.
I have been really trying hard lately not to ask why.
To Mugsy, Bo and Lucky I dedicate this poem to you,
may you finally be in peace and free from disease.
I shall live the rest of my life and when it is through
I know the pain of losing you three will cease.
I pray you haven't forgotten your mumma on earth,
and are barking and hopping full of gaiety and mirth.
Don't ever forget, to me, you were much worth.
No, I cannot pick just one pet-
for I have three I shan't forget!
