"For a Friend"

by Al Shelton

 

  There is nothing quite so sad

for those of us that know

just what it's like to lose a pet

how hard to just let go

Never again to feel that love

and warmth you held so dear

though they're gone, rest assured

their love remains quite near

 

The many snapshots which you've saved

and the ones in mind and heart

will help you relive happy times

before you had to part

You'll feel that brush against your legs

or, maybe, hear them cry

it's just their way of telling you

they'll always be nearby

 

And one day, when you're cleaning

you'll find their favorite toy

instead of letting tears escape

make this a time of joy

To revel in their memory

remembering times of past

for if you keep them close at heart

their love will last and last

 

Right now, it must surely seem

your world is tinted gray

the void your friend has left for you

decreases day-by-day

The love and friendship you two shared

is strong, just as before

just like the memories you both made

today... and evermore!
