This elegy poem is dedicated to my childhood dog, Sandy. She crossed The Rainbow Bridge in 2005. The image of her above was taken in 2003.
Well, here we are, dear canine friend. The Reaper is racing towards us, but I won't say Goodbye. I'll say Thank You. Thank you, Sandy, for being the best friend that I’ll ever know. Thank you, Sandy, for trotting towards me during my loneliest hours. You were my confidante, my guardian, and my playmate. Please know that as I turn away for the final time, I’m not turning away from you. Our time together is finished. There is no sense in sobbing over the inevitable. Then why do I tremble as I lumber away? Why is my soul coated with sorrow? I hear the Reaper coming, dear girl. He’ll take my heart with you.
