SAM

Thirteen years have gone by for us,
so lucky to have had you this long.
My heart cries for what lies ahead,
I don't want you to be forever gone.

I wish for you to be safe and warm,
even if it has to be in heaven above.
I cry at night thinking what I must do,
the tears I cry are purely with love.

I can't imagine life without you in it,
I have had you since you were a pup.
Remembering the days we cuddled,
your whimpers and your first hiccup.

The laughter and joy you gave to me,
will remain in my heart so very deep.
I think about the times we have shared,
dreaming all about them in my sleep.

I was only twelve years old back then,
I came running straight home from school.
Looking forward to the walks we'd take,
then the quick dip in the backyard pool.

Playing ball in the evening is always fun,
then settling down in my small tiny bed.
You lay your body next to mine at night,
on my stomach lays your sweet head.

Those days I shall always remember them,
with a huge smile upon my face.
Right now I hold tears in my eyes,
and my heart has not that steady pace.

Your trying hard to hold on dear friend,
please don't suffer just to satisfy me.
Let your soul rest in gods loving hands,
allow yourself to be strong and free.

I will see you again at the pearly gates,
there you can wag your long furry tail.
We'll get together again on that very day,
the clouds by god we shall have a sail.

We'll create new memories you and I,
but for now I understand we must part.
Just remember me as I will remember you,
you'll forever and always be in my heart.

I LOVE YOU SAM..XOXO
