Slonjie and Irie

Slongi and Irie

       I wish I never had to say goodbye,
       But you see, I did not have an option,
       I had to give you up for adoption.
       Looking into your eyes,
       I could not control my cries,
       I wish I had an option,
       Not to give you two up for adoption.

      I tried to block your memories,
      Where the two of you would play under the tree,
      So playful and carefree.
      I am so sorry I had no option,
      To leave you two at the shelter for adoption.

      Hearing your cries that day,
      I covered with my ears with dismay.
      After all these years I miss you two,
      Wondering what happen to you.
      I wish I can turn the hands of time,
      And still keep you as mine.

       I miss you, Slongi and Irie,
       My two dogs who were part of my family.
