the dreams we shared your soft sniffles
mr mittnes u were there when no1 cared
your heart was warm when all was cold
the fold in my soul will never feel the same again
i forget pain when i touched your soft mane
the time we spent whent way 2 far
bro im sorry i hit with my car

Well done, very nice!

When dealing with the guilt of having to put a much loved pet to sleep, this poem is just perfect.......


FROM FRIEND TO FRIEND


You're giving me a special gift,
So sorrowfully endowed,
And through these last few cherished days,
Your courage makes me proud.


But really, love is knowing
When your best friend is in pain,
And understanding earthly acts
Will only be in vain.


So looking deep into your eyes,
Beyond, into your soul,
I see in you the magic, that will
Once more make me whole.


The strength that you possess,
Is why I look to you today,
To do this thing that must be done,
For it's the only way.


That strength is why I've followed you,
And chose you as my friend,
And why I've loved you all these years...
My partner 'til the end.


Please, understand just what this gift,
You're giving, means to me,
It gives me back the strength I've lost,
And all my dignity.


You take a stand on my behalf,
For that is what friends do.
And know that what you do is right,
For I believe it too.


So one last time, I breathe your scent,
And through your hand I feel,
The courage that's within you,
To now grant me this appeal.


Cut the leash that holds me here,
Dear friend, and let me run,
Once more a strong and steady dog,
My pain and struggle done.


And don't despair my passing,
For I won't be far away,
Forever here, within your heart,
And memory I'll stay.


I'll be there watching over you,
Your ever faithful friend,
And in your memories I'll run,
...a young dog once again.

In Memory of Asta, Feb. 1997

I love all the poems posted here, many of them bringing tears to my eyes. Hope you don't mind if I include my contribution:


WHEN YOU SEE A RAINBOW (FOR ROSIE)

When you see a rainbow, I’m just the other side
When you feel the sun, I am there too
When the brightest star in heaven twinkles brightly
It’s me, I’m watching over you

Don’t be sad you can’t see me any more
Keep a corner of your heart just for me
I had to go, I could wait no longer
I was old and tired, and I just had to leave

Those who loved me, don’t be sad now
It’s lovely here, with my friends who went before
With lush green grass, and lots of toys
What little kitty could ever ask for more?

And do you know, miracles must happen
You probably don’t believe me, but I know I can’t be wrong
My dim blind eyes can see once more
My weak, helpless body is lithe and strong

Don’t grieve for me, for I am happy here
I would tell you not to miss me, but I know that you do
But I’ll we see each other again, I just know it
Whisper softly ‘Rosie’, and I’ll come running back to you.

Somebody sent me this one the other day, just after I had said goodbye to my beloved Roger. I thought it was beautiful & reading it again has started the tears flowing (not very manly but I can't help it). I was about to post it on this forum but thought I'd have a search first & check that nobody had already done so. The words are so apt aren't they?

he watched her bathing in the morning sun,so quiet and alone like she had noone ,she hadnt seen me watching this girl so sad and alone her heart like stone she was feeling so bad,for today she lost her best furry friend her mind was a whirl she couldnt pretend.i know in that moment with all my kitty heart this girl needed me,so where do i start ill never replace the love she is wanting,i watched her that morning with tears down her face i need to do something my heart started to race for this girl is so special her heart so sore,i know what to do to even the score i jumped on her lap with all the heart i could muster,the girl looked at me with tear fulled eyes,i look back with my hart on my paw will this girls heart healwill she want me anymore,but with my heart on my paw i curled up on her lap,we both fell asleep for a sad mornings nap.

for all though sad whos lost a kitty but has another trying to make them feel better

This is for our beloved dog Archie who went missing 2 years ago

Archibald my life my world my heart
the scruffy little doggy right from the start
He chewed he dug he knawed he nipped
But that didnt change my feelings one bit.
You were a nightmare, you were
But we loved you never the less.
So when we left you with the lady
We thought that next time you would be there going crazy.
With your waggy tail and all your hair,
Only to find that you weren't there,
we were devastated with despair.
You had dug under he gate trying to find your family
We looked and looked for days on end
only to never find you ever again.
You were never handed in,
Although you could be a sin
And forever we will miss you, gone too soon at seven years.
We love you Archie xx
