My love will stay beyond this time
The heart stops, the beat dropsNever knowing that it would stop
But now it has, on this new dayTo take away, what could not stay
Water flowing from my eyesExpressing what I could not hide
Love within my heart explodesRelease myself, nothing untold
My love, our past stays in my heartEven though we're far apart
Move my hands into the dirtBreathing in to feel my hurt
Yet breathing in shows I'm alive,That I'm expanding into my life
My love will stay, yet life moves onKnowing that my friend Is gone
This poem is dedicated to my dog, Willi, who I love so much. This morning he passed away. Then we had a beautiful ceremony, before burying him in the backyard. I will always remember all the good times together, how much he has taught me and how much he has helped me grow from a boy into a man. With his ferocious spirit, unwavering will and the wisdom that he gained throughout his life. You will always be loved and remembered my friend

Sorry for your loss. You paid a very touching and inspiring tribute here with this poem.
Thank you. I really appreciate that a lot and all of your kind words.
OH sorry to hear that. May he rest in peace! Nice poem with feeling... touch my heart.
Thank you. Yes it was time for him to pass, he had a nice long life. He was a great companion, I wrote this right after we had our ceremony in our backyard for him; Then we buried him in the perfect place under our tree in the backyard.
Beautiful words and lovely tribute :)
Thank you.
It is always heart-wrenching when a loved one leaves us for a better world than the one we live in.
Yeah it's pretty hard, Im still having a little trouble moving on and feeling normal again. My life focus and will seem distorted now. Reality seems distorted too.
