Oh How I Miss You

Like the good old days
we're together everywhere
but you don't bark anymore.
I know you are there
peaceful in my quiet dreams
walking happily with me.

Each visit's unique,
I share my daily routine
but you insist on love themes.
When I said love you,
you responded happily
barking softly in my dream.

I assume this is about your dog ! After being together for long, it is painful to lose its sweet presence. Appreciate your sweet sentiments for your pet dog !

Oh, this put a tear in my eye! I have such a soft spot for dogs, they are precious animals and forever companions! It is true, I have had dreams about my previous dogs, and being with them brought joy in my life! I have another one right now and he is so special to me, I don't know what I'd do without my furry companion! Your poem explained the grief quite excellently and allowed me to grieve again for my previous dogs! What a spectacular piece my friend! Such a tender poem, Great Work!!

My little dog has become almost blind, and for that reason she doesn't respond like she did. I'll be singing your song, Vijay too soon. Thanks for writing it.

Yes, it is true--our dog passed away after about 15 years being with us--he was lovely. I will surely look-up your Eclipse, now. Thank you for lovely feedback.
