PASSING OF A FRIEND
Sunlight streams through window pane,
unto a spot on the floor...
Then I remember,
it's where you used to lie,
but now you are no more...
Our feet walk down a hall of carpet,
and muted echoes sound...
Then I remember,
it's where your paws
would joyously abound...
A bark is heard along the road
and up beyond the hill,
Then I remember,
it can't be yours....
your golden voice is still...
But I'll take that vacant spot of floor,
and empty muted hall,
lay them with the absent bark,
and unused dish, along the wall...
I'll wrap these treasured memories
in a blanket of my love,
and keep them for my loving friend,
until we meet above.

"I
lost my best friend today. She was the finest dog
in town. In her younger days we’d go to the
river and play and make the men fishing frown. My
love for
her could never be measured. When they told me last
June
that I didn’t have much time my heart was broken
then and I knew this day would come. Now that dreaded
day has come and my heart has broken into two. It was
so hard to say goodbye. In my heart you will always
hold a special place that no one could ever fill. If
my tears could build a stairway and heartache make
a lane. I’d walk the path to Heaven and bring
you back again. Jordan says will see you again some
day, but what do I do till then. I miss you my Rowdie
Monster and I love you always."
