Smokie by Cherie and Colin Frank / Momma, Daddy, Einstein and Yogi

My eyes still fill with tears some days,
It’s hard to realize
365 days have passed since
I touched your sweet face.
Heard your happy snorts…
Nuzzled your coarse fur…..
I remember telling you to run,
run as fast as you can…
You can run with the angels now…
The last words you ever heard me say….
How I wished I could be there to see it!!
You must have been so surprised
to have your legs agree with you!
We were lucky enough
to have 14 years to love you,
but it
Wasn’t enough.
Forever wouldn’t be enough.
We miss you so much.
I try to remember the good,
but (sadly) the bad too…
Then I truly know the decision
we had to make was the best for you..
BUT
We weren’t ready Mokiers!
But we knew you were…
I’ve cried so many tears,
how I wish they could bring you back!
(Your brothers) Einstein and Yogi
are taking good care of us.
(And neither pigs up the covers
the way you did… we never minded!)
We miss you so much,
I know you will be at the bridge waiting
Until then, we will count the minutes and
always remember the
Joy you brought to us…
You were the sweetest dog,
you touched our hearts, and our
Lives… every day….
You will never be forgotten.
Tears are not enough….

 

All Our Love,
Smokie
