Jeanne Mcgee Poet Tritina

Your Love Felt Home Inside My Heart

All night and day with dread I felt
      The looming departure for your new home
In just three weeks you curled yourself inside my heart

You, a foster puppy, so cute you stole away my heart
   Even though I tried so hard to deny the love I felt
       You bought joy and laughter to my happy little home

       Now you have gone, off to your forever home
    And have left behind a little emptiness in my heart
Yet so glad am I to know this love I always will have felt

   The feelings felt   have found a home    in my tenderest of heart

Jennifer Proxenos May 22, 2020 at 11:37 AM Who wouldn't fall in love with this adorable pup - I know and feel how you felt but at least you know your beautiful pup is happy. My Labrador who I loved so very much died at 3 years old from Leukemia - have written a poem - "Hello and goodbye Coco" Blessings Jennifer. Jeanne Mcgee May 22, 2020 at 2:15 PM I loved your poem to Coco...I have one foster puppy left, the Princess Chloe! We are trying to find her forever home..meanwhile she chews her way further into my heart...xoxo

Caren Krutsinger May 21, 2020 at 8:30 PM I am looking at this darling puppy and know how hard it is to let one go, for I had to find homes for seventeen of mine once and it tears your heart up. Your poem sounds full of optimism and hope even though I believe part of you is mourning. Just look at that face! Jeanne Mcgee May 22, 2020 at 2:17 PM Wow Caren, 17! I just can't imagine...This little guy we named Clark SuperPuppy. He was such a little smartie...his sister is missing him terribly while we search for her home.

Gershon Wolf May 21, 2020 at 8:19 PM Aw, you've penned a tale of TRUE 'puppy love!' Tough to let go. Cheers, Gershon Jeanne Mcgee May 22, 2020 at 2:17 PM Truely! :)
