In Memory of My Collie, Lucky

When Lucky died

I cried and cried

I love that collie

he is always jolly

I love that dog

he is good for a hug

or a kiss

I sure miss

him

a-hem

got more to say

maybe someday

not sure when

but check back then

he visits me in dreams

how real it all seems

when I realize he is not here

brings yet another tear

God, I miss that dog

yet want my memory to jog

Don't wanna forget him

Memories won't let him

die

yet I still cry

why

is it bad

to be sad

should be glad

for the time we had

I am but still sorrow shows and grows

does it matter who knows

is it stronger to cry

than to reason why I cry

or try not to cry

strong emotions take over matters of the heart

although I know we are never far apart

somehow sorrow overcomes me

should I try to see

a way out of this sorrow

maybe tomorrow

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Tears in eyes writing this and continuing it while copying it here...I really miss my collie dog..He is such a good boy..I refuse to say was cuz I feel him with me still and dream of him often but miss him terribly...losing a pet is so sad...as any loved one...unconditional love lost and yet still there somehow...sob....heavy sigh...pet lovers will get this I guess if not...I am still sad over my loss and that was a couple of years ago...I don't think I will ever get over it...the more I try not to think about it the more I can't help but think of it...so sad...too bad...oh well...time will tell...whatever happens....too much said...I am happy for the times we had but I am still very sad...I miss him terribly...Pam

never feel bad about the emotions,losing a pet is like losing a family member because you are just as close but in a different way.I think it's a beautiful piece myself!
