When Facing The Loss of A Pet

Missing my Baby

My most precious baby is waiting for me.
We don't know how long or how soon it will be
I'll be let off my leash. Set loose to run.
All the kissing and wagging of tails will be fun.

On this earth I worked to care and prepare,
To protect her from harm and to always be there.
Somewhere she awaits, preparing with care
As one day for sure, I will also be there.

Meanwhile we wait. Our hearts are all broken.
We still hear the words that never were spoken.
We live with the memories and can't wait to share.
I love her from here and she loves me from there.
