Ode to Beloved Fur Kids
I could not protect you
Not from the speeding car
Or the searing pain
Or the length of time
You were a charm
A note of beauty
Charging me with love
And sharing every day...
All three of you are gone
And though I have mourned
And though our home is full again
I yearn for you
Some days, the haunting loss
Nearly knocks me over
Knees buckle, chest aches
And the dreams...
Come again.
