Sally's Fate

The tears of sadness fill my eyes. As one so loved slips to the other side and dies. The hurt so strong leaving me hollow and numb. Making it hard to talk or relate to anyone. As the sharp edge of pain subsides. The thumb print god placed on her head resides. Along with her growls and snarls she leaves me with a smile. One that death cannot erase not even for heaven's sake. In my heart she takes her place. Here she has permanent grace

We must think alike about dogs and the value they have in our lives. It was most appreciated by my friend.

Yes, she is but she was a friend's dog named Sally. I wrote it for my friend because she had difficulty with her loss. Thanks for reading and committing on the poem it means much to me.
