how do you say
so long to someone
who has given you
so much joy and happiness
for sixteen years
who now lays near-lifeless
in your aching arms

i can not say goodbye, dear one
i will not say goodbye
no, not now or ever
just rest well, my sweet angel
and know you were my love
yes, you were my life

This is very beautifully written. Makes me think of my cat Hobbes when I read this. He was 16 when we lost him. I enjoyed the read!!!

THIS is well written, faith. The verses and lines spell out that love and of course, the pain.

As unconditional as the love received,
goes the goodbye for now.

I'm one of those people who believe that
heaven was created for animals...
if humans get to join them? That will be
our great fortune.
