Daisy & Ollie

We lost our 2 beloved dogs within 4 months of one another. Their names are Daisy & Oliver. We had them for approx 9 years, they were rescues. I have had a real hard time accepting their deaths.

 

Summer is over

Gone are those warm winds

The trees are shedding their leaves

Preparing to stand bare, cold & grey-

Lifeless, a somber reminder of death.

I think of you again

Sad memories from last winter-

I don’t look forward to the cold again

Forever branded as the season of mourning

 

Winter will never be the same.

 

An anniversary passed

And another soon to come

This sadness brings tears again

With the losses of loved ones

Who shared our lives for so long-

Now gone…

 

Though forever in our hearts.

 

Alive with memories of past days

Laughter and tears

Through the sun filled rays

Full of love even on cloudy days-

Now only emptiness remains inside these walls

 

I still see you

 

I suppose in time less tears I'll cry

Though the sweet memories of you shall reside

Within the corners of my depleted mind-

Trying to accept what is left behind

While this empty place still hides in my heart

 

I'll never forget you

All dogs go to heaven
You'll see them again and what a moment it will be when they come running towards you and jump into your arms

Have two dogs and dread the future when... so i can understand how you're feeling if not feel the sadness. Your poem is beautifully put, and is - in its way, a great memorial to them and must also stand as testament to your caring and love for them.

Sorry for your losses. The writing is a beautiful tribute for those two cuties. A very heartfelt writing.

Insight.

Beautifully written Connie. Heart felt, painful words for the losses you feel.Forever branded as the season of mourning, how apt that this is what it truly feels like, and the lines that end it,
While this empty place still hides in my heart, I'll never forget you are perfect.
As ever Connie, superbly written, with the ache of loss still an open wound. Sorry for your losses.
