Your Pet Loss Poems
'Paw Prints in Heaven'
by Holly Okon
(Anchorage, AK)
Loyalty and devotion all the years through
Four feet following me, walking beside me and ahead
Constant companions, sitting beside me, laying at the foot of my bed
Lucky to have known them, they enriched my life beyond measure
Long walks through the woods, trips to the dog park, I will always treasure
Faithful and steadfast, love unconditional and without fail
God's perfect creation, from tip of nose to tail
If one were to say to me, dogs don't go heaven, I would question their doubt
For what kind of heaven would it be for me to be without
Dogs romping about, barking, tails wagging while at play
Furry clowns so entertaining, making me smile and laugh every single day
So when my time on this earth ends, I reach down and pet my dogs that have passed
It is then I will know, I have reached heaven at last.
