One More Time

What could I say that you don't already know 
One last word to share with you before you have to go

After 9 years of being loved and loving everyday 
Was there really anything at all that we have left to say

I loved you every second, every moment since we met 
You had the strongest sweetest soul I've come to know here yet

I think my greatest comfort since we met until you passed 
Is I know I spent my time with you as if it were my last

It really didn't shock me that you didn't stay so long 
The angel wings you flew in on have always fluttered strong 

It's funny when I think of all the things I did, and see 
If I was here to care for you or you to care for me?

And so it's time to say farewell I'll do the best I can 
Until we're reunited my soft, sweet, bossy little man!

John Posey Date: 9/18/2014 2:07:00 PM Poignant and meter-perfect tribute to one sweet creature from a loving and caring God. Well done, Scott. I had a similar experience with one of our pets. I think you might enjoy reading "Tina - At Home In Our Hearts" written a few months back.... We have since lost Britney, Tina's running mate.... Part of her passing was due to grief.... Sharing seems to help the healing process..... Regards.... Jake Login to Reply
