This one is about my little Yorkie. She is now 13 yrs. old and very special to us. You can see her picture with her poem on my website.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Marijah My Love"

God placed her upon the wings of a dove
Then sent her to me to care for and Love
I thought when I saw her beautiful face
She's heaven on earth and wrapped in his grace

A pretty white bow was tied in her hair
And I saw a key was hidden in there
The key was so small but sparkled like gold
I felt it was not to touch or to hold

Yes, Love had been born as pure as can be
This angel from God especially for me
"What do I call her?" I asked God above
He whispered to me"Marijah My Love"

From that moment on our hearts would agree
That no-one could come between her and me
Although she can't speak her actions say more
She shows me her Love with kisses galore

I worry each time she's not in my sight
Yes, I have to know Marijah's all right
I'd gladly give up the things of this world
They just don't compare to my little girl

I've learned how to Love without any fear
I'm grateful to God for sending her here
Marijah has filled a dark empty hole
I know she has reached the depths of my soul

That little gold key? isn't there anymore
I know where it went and what it was for
Yes, God knew Marijah and that little key
Would surely unlock the cold heart in me

I try not to think of life without her
But I know someday I'll lose her for sure
In my human years she's seven to one
As my life begins her life's almost done

They say it is better to Love and to lose
But I'm not so sure which one I would choose
Though I'm really glad that God and his dove
Decided to share"Marijah My Love"

She is very special to us both. I know her age will play a big part in her death but also (in our opinion) so will what she suffers from which are the exact same symptoms that were responsible for the loss of 3 of our other pets and that's from the Gulf War.
Thank You for the sweet words and I do wish for you the strength when the time comes for your loss.
God Bless!
