FOOTPRINTS IN OUR HEARTS
I feel your saddened, grieving heart
I hear your quivering familiar voice
I see your crying, reddened eyes
as I now sniff around the other side.
I know You feel my saddened heart
I know You hear my quivering moans
I know You see my moistened eyes
I know You smell my doggie guise!
Knowing we have had a great run
Enjoying the Earth, Moon and Sun
Those pleasures remain in our hearts
The walks, the talks and alerting barks
Now our respective footprinted “paws”
Will always give our hearts applause.
Yes, I will always be resting in peace
On these clouds that feel like fleece
Yes, You gave me a most wonderful life
Filled with love and laughter and light.
Yes, being your pet has been my grace
as I now rest in this — my heavenly space.
I am happily at peace and feeling just fine
Knowing this poem is both yours and mine.
