Your Pet Loss Poems

'Daisy Mae Jones'

It's time you say with your eyes

It's time to say our goodbyes

My body no longer works like it should

But Daisy, I plead, if you try it could

No, you say, I have tried with all my might

And I'm tired now and must give up this fight

We have shared a bond, so special you see

Now it is time for you to let it be

I love you Daisy, more than you could ever know

If you love me, you say, you'll let me go

This pain I feel, it will not end

And this time my body will not mend

Just one more day, I beg of you

I can't you say, I've done all I can do

I have to go, I can't be late

Cassie is waiting at the pearly gate

She told me up there I can jump and run

She told up there we'll have so much fun

We'll meet again and I'll wait for you

But this one thing, you must do

As I look at you my heart breaks

This decision is the hardest to make

Mommy, you say, do this for me

I have always tried to make you happy

Now it's time for you to follow through

Do for me what I can not do

I thank you Daisy, for being so loyal and kind

Another Daisy, I will never find

I will be with you in the end

And I thank you for being my very best friend

This is by far the hardest thing I have had to do

But it is now time to give back to you

I know you would stay here if there were any way you could

You would endure the pain, no one should

I love you Mae and we say our goodbyes

I kiss your head as you close your eyes

Have fun up there and Goodbye my friend

My love for you will never end.
