Your Pet Loss Poems

'Tuffy's Candle'

by Regina Holler
(Claremore, OK USA)

Your Spirit is My Candle,
Each night it lights my way.
It takes me to a secret place,
Where you and I still play.
You whisper to me softly,
"Mom, I know how much you grieve".
Then you tell me to remember,
You tell me to believe.
Only earthly bonds are broken,
From your heart I cannot leave.
