Michael Craig Poet Rhyme

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

Andrea Dietrich February 13, 2019 at 8:45 PM I see below here that you wrote for a friend's dog. I did that too for my friend's german shepherd!! Nicely done! I hope they appreciated it.

Michael Craig February 13, 2019 at 5:19 PM 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.
