Sherbert by Michelle / Mommy

Sherbert,

I made a promise long ago
To care for you always, I never wanted to let go
You were my child, my love, my everything
You were, and always will be, my own little King.

I took you home, away from that cage
That would have been your home for 7 long days
I loved you, and cared for you, as I told you I always would
I fed you, bathed you, at least the best I could.

I took you into my life with one solemn vow
That if the time ever came, I would, somehow,
End your suffering, your pain, your misery
Let you die warm, safe, and with dignity.

I never thought the day would come
I would have to keep my promise
I thought you would live forever
But that last hug and kiss.

Was the worst thing I had to do
Never should have happened
You were supposed to die naturally
But you were not meant to come to that end.

I miss you and love you
I always will
You were my child, my savior
My little angel.

 

I love You,
