Loss, A freind
[Dec '00]

1 Those bright brown eyes Once so full of joy for life Are glazed over and lifeless I have said goodbye through my lonely wet lost-pet tears 2 We are not really Sad, Though a little bit lonely We lost our Andy today. Her head in my hands As she peacefully died 3 Our lives are richer & wiser Because we shared her life, There are fond memories. This is a second set of verses About her life and her death 4 The same characters are here A child prayed restoring her life now as an adult the child asks for death's sweetness This would end suffering. 5 Vivian cried in my arms She too, mourned the loss A part of her heart, memories the wagging excitement not just tail but whole body

6 One could not really pet her Her head would not stay still Long enough to allow it She was to excited about Being given attention 7 Splotchy black & grey hair will be found for a long time. She left a mark everywhere. Hair fell in old age clumps During the slow final weeks. 8 The seat beside me in my car Will seem empty, unsplotchy Her presence still there Barking “open the window” To thrust out her head 9 That was her seat She always had to be asked To vacate for a passenger Then she was on the lap For it was still her window 10 She taught us so much Her unselfish protecting love, Her loyal example, Her Play, her harness pull May we remember often.
