Goodnight

In loving memory of our best fur friends

Fly free


I think we both knew

That this day would come,

For nothing lives forever…

And I tried to prepare myself,

For this dreading feeling.

A pain that will destroy me,

Rendering me helpless.

And so I mourned my losses,

Far before it even happened.

I cried my tears,

Wailing songs of sorrows.

But that doesn’t make it any easier,

It didn’t make it any easier.

It never does…

But you did such a good job.

You were there for me when no one else was.

You were there when I needed you the most.

You listened when I needed to talk.

You comforted me when I was feeling down.

You gave me the love that I needed.

You were the reason I could fight.

The reason I continued.

You were the reason I survived.

But I know time has come,

I see how you sleep the days away.

How your once vibrant fur slowly turned white.

So rest now…

Close your eyes and dream your dreams,

And I’ll see you again some day…

I promise…

Goodnight, and thank you for everything.
