In Memory of Tom my beloved Friend
I
lost you on April 3th 2001
~ When Tomorrow is Yesterday ~
I awoke this morning my eyes filled with tears
For your bed is now empty my friend of many years.
The tomorrow I dreaded came yesterday
With your last kiss you gave, your muzzle so gray.
As I laid you to rest you took my broken heart to
Wrapped in your blanket with a bone you can’t chew.
Silly, I know, but I just couldn’t put you to rest
With nothing of yours to take on your quest.
Ten happy years I just put in the ground,
How fast they went as with the speed of sound.
My first day without you, a nightmare for me,
For now only memories of you will I see.
Sweet memories, I know, but they’ll never replace
The sound of your bark nor your “kiss” on my face.
The warmth of your body snuggled close to mine,
The look in your eyes with pure love in their shine.
I’ll miss you, my friend, more than words can ever say
And I’ll cherish forever the years that you gave.
The happiest of years for you were always there,
My moods and emotions with you I could share.
It’s hard to remember life before you, so alone,
For you filled a space no human could own.
When tomorrow became yesterday with pain so intense,
I look to the heavens, they seem so immense.
I vision you somewhere out there waiting for me,
My only comfort, from pain your souls free.
The years that we shared I’ll keep safe in my heart
For the bond that we shared will never depart.
And when my tomorrow becomes yesterday,
United we’ll be, in the heavens we’ll play.
I must believe in order to cope with the loss
Of the
truest of friends who left me alone and so lost.
thank you aunt christine for the lovely gift
Time has past since that dreadful day when the Lord decided to take
you away
The emptiness still lingers from time to time but when I think
about you I know I'll be fine
You were more than just a pet you were my best friend
Faithful companion from beginning to end
With your friendly bark and wagging tail you never showed if
you ailed
Running and playing morning to night never a mean growl or a
bite
We wish you were still here right by our side but you'll always
be with us deep down inside
We gave you a home and you gave us your heart there is no way
we will ever part
The love that you showed us we'll never forget
We'll love you forever; You are our Pet !
love you Tom !
