I Weep For My Dearest Daisy
The whispers of your ghost are creaking near the bed
Soft sighs from the darkness of the night's half moon light
I hope you are near unwilling to move on just yet.
The other dog feels it too and he looks up in a moment
Sighs and returns to his bed.
I woke one night as you groaned and fell
Unable to rise anymore a little ashamed
Such a good girl feeling old and sick sensing death
And the vet gave the injection the pain was gone
The owls are quiet now my heart aches from the emptiness
I wept outside and others with their dogs looked downward
Death no longer rages in the house
I wish now I had forced the vet to let me be with you from the beginning
But she was young and Covid was there so she only let me be
With you just during the last minutes and I kissed your head
Are you I pray and hope at rest and feel my love
Danny boy sleeps nearby now
I know I will love you and hold you in my heart
For very long time my dearest Daisy girl.
