KrisK Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 I haven't written much poetry since my teen years...(a good while ago!) but the night before last, I dreamt of my Jazz and this is what came of it. I hope you don't mind my posting it here. If you feel you would like to share it with someone who has lost a beloved pet, please feel free to do so. I only ask that you acknowledge that it was written for my Jazz who left me far too soon and too suddenly. Last night you came to visit me You laid your head upon my knee You poked my hand the way you knew Would get an extra scratch for you I wrapped my arms around your neck I breathed deep of your doggie scent My tears rained down upon your head I softly spoke your name Your deep brown eyes gazed up at me “You called and so I came I know you cry these tears for me But this I know is true We have a bond that will not break I always walk with you If you whisper, I will hear And we will walk together Through snow filled fields and leafy trails Through sun or stormy weather” I woke and still I felt you near My face - Still wet with tears But in my heart I felt such joy I feel you near, my handsome boy.

Jedismom Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Ok so I'm balling right now....this describes so much what I feel for Jedi and I guess what we all feel for our heart dogs. Thank you for reminding me how important it is to cherish every moment. Wonderful tribute to Jazz. Peace.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
