Gone but not forgotten

My girl

by Willie P. Smith

 
 
 
 
She lay on my lap
For the very last time
That beautiful brown 
Puppy of mine.
 
Left ear up
Right ear down,
Always a smile
Never a frown.
 
I felt the life leave her
As her little heart stopped.
In seconds after the shot
Her beautiful head dropped.
 
For fifteen short years,
She stayed by my side,
I couldn't hold the tears,
I never even tried.
 
My heart felt so heavy
As the doctor 
Took her from me
Ever so gently.
 
I know she is better
And hurts no more,
.She left my arms and entered
Heaven's doggie door.

Due to my advanced age, she will be my last puppy. I'll miss her forever.
