POEM

Time ticking towards death
Tears running can't rest
What haven't we done yet in these 16 years?
How can I fit them in 3 hours
Two houses, five pets, loss, love, fun
You've seen all
Hush now my baby, my buddy, my friend
It's what's best for you and for us
Last night you confirmed we aligned with your paws
Looked at me, gave me peace
I needed that from you
Peacefully sleeping
Cradled by Love
Bacon cooking, how can we please you before you go
Thank you for showing me unconditional love
Protection. Affection.
That's all you're made of
Heart, body and mind broken
There's nothing more to be spoken
Silent waiting, petting, loving, crying,
ticking...
Time
Ticking
Farewell sweet love
Go play with four others
who went sooner
Otis
