Your Pet Tributes
by Mary
By Ann Hogue Oh, there you are, Beloved One! This long, long day is nearly done; I feared you would not come in time. This weariness is great, and I’m So grateful for your presence here. Remembered voice, and touch so dear Bring back a thousand happy days We shared in oh, so many ways. We ran and played in sun and rain; I shared your joy, your fear, your pain. Our hearts, our minds just seemed to blend; If only it would never end… But never mind; don’t grieve for me. My love is yours, eternally. You’re crying now, it pains me so – I hope that you will always know How all my heart was yours by right. I slept beside your bed at night, And greeted you at your front door; But now I cannot, any more. You must not think I hate to die; It’s only that I want to lie Beside your chair on winter eves, And walk with you through Autumn leaves. The dyings not so bad, you see – It’s leaving you that worries me. My eyes are dim; it’s hard to see, But there’s your hand, to comfort me. The voice seems faint – what’s that you say? Oh, well, it’s your voice anyway So very long ago, it seems, You talked of me of hopes and dreams. I’d let you know the best I could That I always understood. So now who’ll listen when you’re sad, And share the good times and the bad? But I believe it must be true, In some fine place I’ll wait for you. Oh, yes, you’ll find me, waiting there; And once again we’ll be a pair. What fun we’ll have – just me and you, For love like ours, so deep and true, Can’t end this way; it cannot be. So promise you won’t grieve for me. I look now and see your face; I’m glad you’re with me in this place. And there I see our doctor friend, So this is where it all must end – At least for now, life goes so fast But love like ours will always last. This drowsiness – I feel such peace; First struggle, then sweet release From pain and care and fears and noise – And left behind, remembered joys. A last tail wag, so you will know – Good-bye, dear friend, I love you so. Click here to read or post comments.
