1/23/25 A sad day- Mommy, Daddy and Princess- Miss you so
The silence is deafening
The echoes of your essence remain
I look for you still
Dreams so vivid of my four-legged friend
Melancholy a familiar trend
You are always there in the back of my mind
Princess misses you too
She is not yet blind
A yellow plastic pig about your size of you
Some days she sits with it under her chin
Or lye’s quietly beside listening for you
Daddy misses you too
Is very tearful many of night
His buddy no longer near and out of sight
Snacks are not the same
Although, we know all dogs go to heaven
We miss you still
Your big bright flame
You are, and where the best parts of seventeen
A family member with a lighted name
There is no other that could take your place
Yesterday you came home in a tan wooden box
Tucked inside a blue smooth bag
A footprint to keep made us sad
Your blanket of hearts with paws
Washed, gently tucked away
We hope it kept you warm
Cherished keepsakes make us weep
Pieces of you to help us through
Some hair we clipped in your last precious hours
A tooth from the jump to the pool table
Mistake, such a memory it makes
With foggy eyes
And your body weak
We understood you had to go
Although we tried everything to keep you here
Dropper feeds were not enough
An angel chasing your toys
We miss you so
Home is not the same
Thank you for being our buddy
We understood you had to go
We love you so
We love you still
Always have, always will
Seventeen years was not enough
