My Goliath, forever in my heart...

I remembered you, with a smile

Thanks For All the Love

I miss the little sounds you made

That were only meant for me

The droopy stares you shot my way

Knowing no one else would see

I smile when I think of you

Peacefully resting up above

Because I can hear you calling me

Saying "Thanks for all the love"

Homeward Bound

Watching you grow was such a joy

From the little ball I first brought home at only 5 weeks old

To the companion always by my side

Amazed at the trust you gave me

Comforted by the love we shared

Looking around at your favorite places

The hidden spaces I would not have known

I realize those corners are the graces

That has made my heart your home

New Mourning

I mourn for you when the days slow down

When the sun begins to set and things get quiet

I reflect on the time we spent slowing down

Settling down, drifting, dozing, dreaming

Side by side we slipped into another morning

Now when the first day's light hits my face

I know you've waken and are reaching down

To say good morning, to help ease my mourning

Because you are a light that will not fade

Smile Again

You're gone but not forever.

I smile when I see pictures, remembering all the good times we spent together.

I am strong;

Even stronger, to speak the words of our memories to others.

To smile, when I don't want to smile.

To laugh is easier as days pass by.

You're with me forever in my heart.

A treasure deep within to steer me on.

A precious gift that will not fade.

You were more than my pet, my friend, companion, and my family.
