Written years ago when my beautiful Baldrick disappeared. He has recently been joined at the Bridge by two lovely ladies….Zoe (one year ago), who he shared 3 years with, and little Panya (in June – I miss you so much, Little Girl), who he never met. Look after my girls, Baldrick!
Baldrick, Big Buddy
Huge of heart
Sweet and gentle soul
Silken fur touched with silver
Eyes of molten gold.
Quirky little twitch of tail
Swagger in your walk
Voice of a squeaky hinge
Purr of a diesel truck.
I miss you dearly, sweet friend
You left pawprints deep in my heart
Your blanket at the foot of the bed
is empty,
awaiting your purring bulk.
Do you hear me calling you?
I still hope
I still pray
I listen for your cry.
If it’s not meant to be
that you find your way back to me
I wish you an eternity of sunshine
Cool breezes
Soft grass
Peace.
I will remember you always
We will be together again,
Some day
If not here,
In a better place.
