Once in a Blue Moon

I miss you !Dogs are family

I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying. You found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
“It’s me, I haven’t left you, I’m well, I’m fine, I’m here.”
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today. Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I’m not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said “It’s me.”
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It’s possible for me to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, “I never went away.”
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew…
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over… I smile and watch you yawning
and say “Good-night, God bless, I’ll see you in the morning.”
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I’ll rush across to greet you and we’ll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out… then come home to be with me.

I think losing a pet can be even more painful than losing a human. 😔

Gone but not forgotten

ALREADY UNDERSTOOD
That no matter how much I cry, you won’t come back,
That this sadness in my eyes will never fade away,
That I will always look to the sky,
Searching for a sign that will never arrive.

That until my last breath,
I will always carry this emptiness in my chest
That no one can fill,
That others may forget you, but I never will.

That a thousand times I will ask why you had to leave,
And there will never be an answer.
That many will tell me to stop grieving, time has passed,
But for me, this pain will remain as fresh as the moment you left.

That everyone will continue with their lives as if nothing happened,
While mine has completely and radically changed.

That my strength lies in thinking
That each day that passes is one less day until I see you again.

And that I’ve learned to smile,
Even when a tear escapes from my eyes.

That I will no longer see you as I once did,
And I will miss your barks and your gentle looks.

It’s hard to understand,
But my mind has already processed all of this.
The real problem is
I still don’t know when your absence will stop hurting me. 😢

In every breeze & skies so blue
In every cloud, I look for you

I love receiving signs 🪶
