Notes About The Poem

For Suzette's Contest: poetry should be felt.      Date 18/6/2024

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

never enough

for when a friend leaves and you’re finding it tough
because forever would not have been enough 

I wanted to stay I know you needed me
despite the love we shared it was not to be
but all those memories we made will prevail 
my slobbery kisses pounding of my tail

our fun walks together when it was just you and me
always liked showing me off for everyone to see
being with you, always the best time for me
if we were in the car or playing ball or lazing watching TV 

I guess we always knew that my time here was so short 
and that extra time together just could not be bought 
but I’ll always be there right there in your heart 
because ours was a team that no one could part 

if you miss me some time when you’re alone in the dark 
I'll be there with you and you might even hear me bark

We have said "hooroo" to 3 beautiful Labs over the last 50 years Our beautiful 10 year old Brix is still going strong (with a few hiccups along the way). Life span of a giant breed is 8-10 years, so we are planning on having him for another 10 years : ) We have a lot more wonderful memories to create. Thanks Anaya.. Take care lovely one.

Such a true comment Darlene. I think our pets at times understand us more than the people around us. Certainly a treasured part of our lives. Thank you.
