Love Letter Forever Loved
I would give anything
For one last kiss
One more goodbye
That would last for eternity
I miss you every waking hour
In my dreams I feel you, your soft fur
In my dreams I hear you, purring
I know you visit me while I sleep
My angel, keeping me company
In my life for 23 years
Now gone for 10
The pain still as raw
I still cry at photos
Of you so happy, alive and with me
You ran into my open arms
Welcomed me home every day
The memories we shared, now locked away, safe.
I watched you fade and could take no more
I couldn't see you suffer
The doctors tried to make you better
Then the dreaded news
They could not win, I had to let you go
The red injection took you slowly away
Your life slipped away in my arms
The Angels took my place
Gone forever, but never forgotten
As the memories remain
In my heart and in my soul
They took a piece of me with you
When they took you from this earth
I thank you for the years of comfort
I thank you for being my friend
I thank you for making me smile
For letting me cry into your fur
And for licking my tears away with you rough tongue
The entertainer of the family
Mummys boy and confidante
Always at my side
I now pray to Saint Francis to keep you safe in heaven
Until we meet again
You are gone but you live on with all of us in our memories
So remember my baby, my faithful furry friend
Mummy will always love you
Together until the end
Here's a great big cuddle
Until we meet again........................
