In Loving Memory of Holly.
To My Dearest Faithful Companion
Today we have to make that solemn drive,
To a place where others, before you had to go.
If it wasn’t for my faith and belief in Rainbow Bridge,
I don’t have any clue of how I could ever let you go.
My heart is surely breaking, my tears are flowing strong.
I’ve been blessed for many years, for our tramping in the woods.
Memories of paths we investigated, adventured
And happily sauntered along.
Oh the fond thoughts of you and that beloved furry face.
That always gently nudged me, for that promised good girl treat.
Rest your precious head, sweet girl, place it on my lap,
I’ll wrap my arms, you’ll feel my love surround you,
Until this too short earth journey gently ends.
So long, my beautiful hairy child, It’s only
My selfishness that will weep on for awhile.
I’ll be thankful you are suffering no more
And have comfort in knowing
All your pain has ceased.
So long my beautiful girl, now run along and play,
No need to look back , I assure you, in time I’ll be okay.
The time will fly, you’ll see, not so unlike the whipping wind,
As promised, I will be there, to stroke your beloved head.
It wont be long, until you do, your favorite nose nudge game,
And once again the scarfing of your favorite, promised good girl treat.
Then once again we’ll jaunt along and things will continue,
Just like they’ve always been,
Soon my sweet, your nose will twitch with my familiar scent
And you won’t even realize that any time’s been spent.
For L.G.B and Holly.
Kind Regards and love abounds -K

Oh dear! That’s such sad and beautiful poem. When I lost my last dog Sheila to Cancer I just couldn’t get another dog. So sorry about your loss I can imagine how you feel.
