Why me - why now?
Why what is the cause,
The cause of this pain,
The pain deep down in my soul?
You ask and this is how I shall answer.
Who is gone?
Who have you taken now?
Why have you taken them so soon?
The one on four paws,
With a tail and a fluffy coat,
Why take my comfort,
My pride my joy,
My daughter/son and best friend all in one?
Why take them when,
There isn't enough,
Fur all over the house,
Mud instead of grass,
Slobbery kisses,
Tip tapping nails on the hardwood floor.
I haven't had enough,
Being woken up too early,
Midnight wake up calls,
Wrestling harnesses leads and collars on,
Trying to groom without it being a game,
I will never have enough of this,
Whether its been 2 years (taken too soon) or 15 years,
It will never be enough for the one who holds my heart in their paws,
I still see your wagging tail,
Your happy face,
And every night I sit by your bed,
And I talk to you like I did every night,
When you were with us.
And every night I know you hear me as,
I feel your kisses and cuddles,
Even as I walk an invisible dog,
Every day,
I do it out of routine and knowing you are,
Walking with me,
Even from the sky,
I can't wait until I see you again,
And until I do be a good girl/boy like,
You always have been,
I love you, my dear.
Until then fair well love.....
