Lost Puppies

Lost Puppies

Lost puppies 
We are no longer,
That’s for sure…
Since all that’s been and gone 
And the very essence of you,
Left behind in so many hearts,
Is never forgotten.

And, on a day such as this,
When your world is calm,
Full of warm smiles, 
And your soul is at last
Let off its string,
One cannot help but sense, 
For certain,
That all the love inside you
Comes from the best of those
You’ve known and loved 
And those who came 
And went before you too…

Sweet darlings! Sweet youth!
All our hope and dreams 
Derive from just that.

So, show me the wonder 
Of all you’ve seen so far,
Stretch the day to its limit,
And let us have no guilt 
Left to waste for dreaming still.
