I’d tell you that I was sorry for getting angry
when you wouldn’t listen….
you were an animal but more than anything a family member.
I’d give anything to hear you scratch at the door again….
to put your head near the bed and
wake me up to tell me you had to go outside.
To watch you lay in the sun and just be comfortable….
to let me brush you one more time….
to hold you close when it thundered because you were so scared.
I wish I could take you for one last walk down the street
to watch you prance around…..
to watch you get excited when all the neighborhood children
would come to pet you…
they all knew your name.
I’d like to give you back a few more years with us….
I wish I could have given you your sight back
and gotten rid of your arthritis.
With tears in our eyes we let you go to run free.
It wasn’t fair to have to worry about you when nobody was home
in case you had another seizure.
The Vet couldn’t guarantee it
so we decided it was your time to be free from all pain
free from worry.
But know this Blackie…
you’ll never be free from us
because you’ll always be with us in our hearts.
The memories of you will never be forgotten.
We love you….lie down now and rest.
We miss you.. :'(
Jim
