Poetic spirit

The four-legged friend of a devoted master

Shall keep on giving forever after.

His unflinching love and appreciation

The master hugs to his heart with much admiration.

And when his friend has gone up above,

What the master has is memories of love.

In his heart he holds a special place,

For his pet who brings a smile to his face.

And he finds himself composing rhyme,

After all, it gets him through grieving times.

But more than that, it’s a gift he was given

The day his friend departed for Heaven.

There’s a nudging urge to share this gift

With other who need a spiritual lift.

So he sends his “masterpiece” via the net,

To others that grieve for a very dear pet.

Perhaps they share the very same feelings,

And hopes to help them through the healing.

And so it goes, the gift that keeps giving,

Is my cherished pet who is no longer living.

But, his spirit lives on in the heart of me,

You see, it is he who brings you this poetry!
