Are you all up for a bit of a tear-jerker? I wrote this poem for Taz, to send to my family and friends, and thought I'd share it with you too. I'm really not much of a writer, and poetry is not really my thing, but pieces of it just kept coming to my mind, it seemed to just write itself.
I DIDNâT KNOW I didnât know that it was our last night together Sleeping with you curled up by my side Your warm presence so comforting The first thing I see when I arise I didnât know that it would be our last morning Eating my breakfast as you waited by Always a treat for you when I finished But today you just turned aside I didnât know what you were trying to tell me Laying your head on my knee as a sign You knew something just wasnât right But I couldnât understand what it was I didnât know you were in such distress As you tried to follow me from room to room Always so patient and willing But struggling now just to get by I didnât know we had no time to spend waiting You always seemed so healthy and strong But I saw you were starting to fade And knew it was time then to go I didnât know it was our last car ride together With you riding in front as you loved You tried to sit up as usual And I gently just held you back down I didnât know it would be the last time I carried you Cradling you in my arms like a babe Like so many times Iâd held you before And you trusted I wouldnât let you fall I didnât know when they took you away from me That I'd never see that sheltie smile again That special light in your eyes that twinkled And always shone brightest for me I didnât know if you heard my last goodbyes As you struggled so hard just to breathe I wanted to keep you forever But had to let you go in peace I didnât know my heart could be broken so completely That I could be in so much pain and still go on But I have others that still need me here And your story to always pass on I didnât know that life would change so much when I got you And that it would change just as much when you left But you put your paw prints right on my heart And Iâll never be the same again By Mary Jo, In Loving Memory of Taz ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:261953 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
