Milady's requiem: good-bye froggy doggy
By Taunting The Reaper
soft, furry love
a relentless, yapping ray of sunshine
for the day
belly-up sweet dreams of treats
for the night
it was too short a time for us
so seeing you again isn’t in the stars
our moments together were a testament
proving two partner species can create family
and the empty space you left with us lives on
I will thank you now though you are too far away
to listen
you’ve already said I’m welcome
I know this
because the little bells we once clipped on your collar
still ring in soothing notes of wondrous nostalgia
that pierce through death itself
to fearlessly climb back on my lap
good-bye Milady
good dog
dear friend
part of me went with you
part of you stays with me

Author's Note:
this is a poem for a dear old dog who died recently, she deserved better though I think being the center of attention once more would have definately made her happyComments on "Milady's requiem: good-bye froggy doggy"

Really sorry to hear you've lost a friend. Feel you captured just the right images here and think a lot of people can probably relate in their own way. Thank you for sharing and I hope the good memories outweigh the sadness.
