Velvet by Jack and Martha Wilkerson / Daddy

I worried and tried so hard to give her more time,
but I failed.
For that, I am very sorry.

Partly selfish because I wanted
to spend more time with her.
But also because I knew how much
she enjoyed life.

Wading in the river, running on the beach, and
playing in the water.

Her favorite thing in life was running.

If I look real hard, I can see her in an all out run. Also, she loved me so very, very much. For that, I will be forever grateful. If you have never experienced the true unconditional love of a pet,
you have missed one of life’s great treasures.

Oh, I know she has gone to a better place. And, if I think of all these things, I am not afraid anymore.

If clouds are stepping stones,
I would climb them to heaven and
bring you home.

 

I will always love you,
Velvet
