forever friend

My beautiful Cockapoo Molly has gone to rest

She was always so loving, so sweet

 Even times when she was being a pest

My heart is so broken, so hollow

She’s gone way too soon

I can feel her presence in every empty room

As I puzzle over why a dogs life’s extremely brief

A lesson discovered helps me cope with my aching grief

They’re here to teach us that our lives are preciously brief as well

So Instead of worrying about all the small stuff

We need to learn how to howl, bark or yelp

Always have fun! Run! Jump! Sleep well! Play!

Live life to its fullest each and every treasured day

Take nothing for granted, Love your fellow man

And always go outside whenever you possibly can!

Cherish each gesture of love and affection

Love unconditionally, forgive, pay attention

Greet everyone like they've been gone far too long

Enjoy your meals, treats and howling a good song

Our pets lives may be brief but they’re happy for most of those years

While we spend our extra days overly stressed or in tears

If we take cues from our dogs and the messages they send

Our lives can be happier like those of our cherished tail-wagging friends.
