Poetry: Losing a pet

by Judi B

Goodbye, Buffy

My little one, you've gone away -
I miss you more and more each day.
I love you, Buff so very much...
Just one more hug, just one more touch,
Just one more time to see your face,
To hold you close - time can't erase
The memories in my heart we've made -
My love for you will never fade.
The tears I shed, they're helping me
To understand this had to be.
The pain that bound and kept you here -
You braved so much with little fear.
You fought so hard to stay with me -
You loved so unconditionally
Until the end, then finally
I knew I had to set you free.
Please know how much I loved you so -
I didn't want to let you go.
But I couldn't take the hurt away -
I watched you suffer more each day.
It was more than you and I could bear -
The choice was hard but only fair.
I hope you know I had to do
What Mommy thought was best for you.
If there had been some way, somehow
My Buffy, you'd be with me now.
We tried, my love, but in the end
We had to say goodbye, my friend.
And though we now must be apart
You'll live forever in my heart.
My angel, now you're free to run,
To make new friends, have lots of fun.
Buffy, Mommy loved you so...
So much I had to let you go.
