Bear by Sherry Beaudry / Mom

All the balls I should have thrown
The walks I skipped
Had I only known.

I miss your dog hair on the floor
I miss your smile
When i walk through the door.

Doing chores , is not the same
Bear, you’re not there
When I call your name.

I miss our games of hide and seek
I miss you more
With each passing week.

Late at night as I lie in bed
I long to hold you
And stroke your head.

Last night I saw you in a dream
Your eyes so bright
How your coat gleamed.

Across the fields I watched you run
Again a pup
Just having fun.

I saw you sitting by your tree
Your smiling face
Said sit with me.

And so I sat with you my friend
You promised me
My heart will mend.

You said that you’re not far away
Deep in my heart
you will forever stay.

You said you’re happy
There is no pain
And in your heart
My love remains.

You told me it was time to go
To never forget
How you loved me so.

You said I see you ,
Tho you don’t see me
I see you crying
When you visit my tree.

Do not be sad that we are apart
I’m always there
Inside your heart.

 

I miss you sweet boy,
